Hello,

I’m very concerned my tank will leak. Are these bubbles okay? I just got this tank 2 weeks ago and I’m paranoid this will leak. In one of the images the Bible’s is going all the way down the side of the tank.

thanks,
A fellow reefer

Interesting, the bubbles looked formed in the glass and not between where the panels are mated or glued. Imagine casting metal and too much sand causing porous rather than solid structures/walls. The bubbled areas are weak spots in the glass but I speculate shouldn't cause a problem; personally, if your tank is new I'd try for a replacement before establishing/hosting vast amounts of life in your tank. If the bubbles are from less than desirable manufacturing processes clearly (no pun intended) your tank demonstrates the lack of quality controlled issues.

Please feel free to edify or correct if wrong :thinking-face:
