New Acrylic Display Bubbles in seams?

[DaJMasta]

Did you notice them before adding water? Are they actually even attached to the tank, or are they just stuck in the corner?

I'd baste them or point some flow at them and see if they go away - especially before agitation and biofilm, bubbles just stick to the corners and sides more than a fully operational tank, and those don't look like they're actually part of the acrylic work at all to me.

They are from fabrication and mostly on the outside where the solvent gassed out.. unsightly sure but a problem no..

Them pictures are exaggerating it I promise you! I do it for a living and I’m sure I could pick any acrylic tank apart you own and you’d never notice what I see..

I respect your opinion however there is no other way to show the bubbles which run every seam without getting close to take a picture.

Hey Daj,
They are in the seams of the tank on every seam below the water-line.

Thanks man!

It’s on both outside and inside.

The outside is where it gassed out and they flush cut the acrylic and it left small air pockets. The inside is where it gassed out and melted the acrylic. Normal during acrylic fabrication. Im not sure if they used solvent or resin but the joints are structurally sound regardless and look good, minus the micro bubbles.

Awesome! That’s what I was trying to understand. Thanks for your time man!
