Should I be worried about this? Rimmed 75. We’re looking at the long pane here running all the way to the end and the short pane behind it. On the other corner, the black silicone is solid to the edge.

Thanks. Any recommendations on what to do? I looked at some FTS photos and it looks like at least part of it has been there since it was first filled about 6mo ago.
 
FWIW, here was the reply from the mfg:

"We see microbubbles consolidating on the outer joint near the 45 degree bevel, but the structural portion of the seal appears to be intact. We do not see any evidence suggesting the joint is currently at risk of failure."

It's marked, so I'll know if it gets worse. I think I'm going to get another tank and keep it on standby.
