Would you be worried?

Worried, no. Annoyed, maybe Just because I know I would be fixated on those bubbles and probably obsess over it like I would any imperfection.

But at 10mm thick, that's some serious contact for the glass. It's not coming undone. Actually it's not uncommon to see seams like that with thicker glass, it's hard to get it perfectly uniform. The silicone in between the contact points of the glass is structural, the corner bead outside of the contact points is the leak prevention. If you get a tank resealed for example, (except for maybe in the more extreme cases) usually they don't pull the glass apart and redo the whole thing, usually they just scrape the corner bead out and reapply that.

Agreed And for perfect silicone jobs and edges...ala..well I will not mention names, but you do pay for perfection.

Great, thanks guys. It is definately going to annoy me, but something to watch for in my next tank. Seeing as this is my first tank of this size, I have learned a fair bit. I have a feeling my next tank I will be paying a good buck, but will expect perfection :-). With that said, besides this, it has been a great tank so far, just things I would have done different, which seems to be the norm with reef tanks!
