Would you use this tank?

I have this brand new 75 g aqueon tank and noticed a bubble between the two panes of glass, wondering if this is safe to use or not?

I would ask for a replacement.

I would use it, but it would also be reasonable to have it replaced.

This tank also has the messiest silicone job I’ve ever seen lol

Not for me….that’s certainly problematic.
Think of the value, the inside will hold..or…..not hold.
I gotta sleep good.

My new Aqueon 60 breeder looked exactly like this, sadly. But the price was right

Looks too perfectly round to be an air bubble. Do they use spacers to maintain gap thickness between the panels as part of their manufacturing process?

If so, and other aqueons have them, then I wouldn't worry about it. (e.g. not a hollow cavity that can easily give way).

Absolutely not and not repairable

I agree it looks like a round spacer to ensure proper spacing for silicone between the panes.

None of my other aqueon tanks have this

I’m looking on my phone and if it is a spacer inside the silicone I would ask the manufacturer what they recommend, and get that in writing.

And always fill check out side.

Well I guess this might not be such a bad thing because I’m going with glass cages now
