220g waterbox. The gaps are on the bottom pane.
The tank is new. I've had it cycling and planned to transfer my active tank into it tomorrow. I can't get a fingernail or anything into it because it's on the underside.It appears that the seam may be failing. If you did not notice this when the tank was new and unfilled I would only assume a potential failure. Water Box needs to see your pictures if you are still in the warranty period. Try to take pictures without the blue light with more of a daylight or white setting as it may show the seam better. I have seen this type of thing in several glass aquariums before failure. You might have enough time to get a back up tank like a cheap livestock poly tank for around $100.00 for a 100 gallon tank. I always have a quick unbreakable back up on hand just in case the tank turns into a waterfall.
If it was my tank I would get the back up today!
You mentioned gaps are you able to get a fingernail in them from the outside or inside?
It's definitely gaps in silicone.Place a tissue at the seam between the glass and stand. If it gets wet you have water trapped between the stand and the glass due to water possibly running down the glass as you filled or aquascaped the tank. While this is not ideal you may be seeing the bubbles due to the results of capillary action. Sometimes you can draw out the water by wicking action with dry cotton towels or paper towels. It might not be a bubble in the glass seam at all.
With the new pictures is doesn’t look like air bubbles which id say could a better scenario. Almost looks like a little too much silicone was trimmed from the excess. Not sure how big of an issue that is but I’d definitely reach out to Waterbox. At the very least if it’s not an issue you can still maybe get a few bucks back and opt to keep the tankHere are some shots with a light on it.
No matter what else you, do this. You need to know if the gaps are getting bigger.mark with sharpie ,monitor for growth
