Hello everyone. I just got this tank a few months ago and I noticed this scratch on the inside of the glass where the bottom and front panes meet. I don't think it's in the glass. it appears to be in the silicone. If you zoom in you can see it good. this is a brand new tank. I'm pretty new to this hobby and not sure if this is something to be concerned about. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

you think so? it's kind of hard to tell what's going on, but it looks like there's silicone under the scratch still, like it's not really deep.
Im not sure, I think it is probably fine to use? I would contact the manufacturer if you are worried.
 
So the manufacturer said it's just cosmetic and won't affect the structural integrity of the tank.
