hi welcome to the reef going to love it here!!
lots of fun/info/fun/help/fun....
i'm sorry my opinion ,no, chance of seam failure:confused:see what others think;)
 
Welcome.

That is an odd pattern, down the center. I would not be worried unless you see them build/spread.
BUT, this is a new tank. Get a replacement in my opinion. No sense starting off always being worried.

Where did you purchase it from
 
Welcome to R2R. What @fishguy242 mentioned above you have a seam/silicone failure in progress. Would recommend emptying the water out, resealing with reef-safe glass or acrylic glue, you'll want to let it set for a few days. I would recommend creating a post in the tank emergency forum. Happy to help just let us know what your planning.

Ufff a friends gf practically gave it to me fully equipped for like 50$ back when..
 
So thats for the replies guys.. i added extra bracing when i ran it last due to cutting the center brace.
Id be bummed as i intended to run the stuff i had to not spend $$$$$
I built the stand for 80$ lumber etc..
And basically have shopped what was missing around this tank..
Like mentioned prev,
If i were to reseal id buy new at that point , dot have the skill set or attempt to do that and not justify splurging on a rimless...
Sucks that the consensus seems to be im up creek..
Seems so solid though.
Fyi it is up and down on both sides
