Hey all i just recieved my red sea reefer xxl 750 and there is a bubble in the silicone seam 19 inches long i contacted red sea and they are sending me a new tank and i get to keep the old one. Now im wondering if theres a way to fix this with out taking it all apart and resealing the whole thing? Can you inject silicone into the buble itself? I did a leak test on it and no leaks for 3 weeks.

I think you're stuck resealing it to use it. New silicone won't bond with old silicone. Eventually it will fail.
