hi!i recently got a 30 gallon tank. While i was leak testing it, i noticed a leak, so i am now going to drain remove the current outer layer of silicone and re seal it from the inside. i did noticed the cause of the leak was a big bubble in the seam. can this cause issues in the fueture or will re sealing it with a thick layer of silicone solve it.

Whelp, didn't really notice this area in the seam of my new 20Long during its' wet-test outside, or maybe I did and the lighting inside just makes it more obvious/bad? I'm not sure I trust the integrity of the bond because of where its' located in the panel and how little, not apparently-delaminated, silicone is left, but my silicone experience is with doors and windows, not aquariums. A shiny-new penny for any and all thoughts alongside much appreciation! *Edit, Aqeuon tech thinks it should be fine, doesn't feel it was big enough or through enough of the silicone to be an issue, should have called them first come to think of it, guess I value the experience and opinions of hobbyists a bit more than mnfctrs?
