Just got this tank and filled it up with salt water about 3-4 days ago and started to notice this weird thing… I did a reseal of the outside seals but today I saw this happening to the internal seals… should I be worried?!

What do you mean with you did a reseal of the outside seals? Each seal is one complete bead of silicone, no outside inside. If you cut out silicone from the outside and resiliconed your tank is stuffed. Silicone does not stick to silicone.

Well we removed the outside seals inside the tank the one you can physically touch but we never removed the seal that is in between the the two glasses (inside seal) after removing all the outside silicone we resealed it and when I filled it up that’s when we noticed that issue
