WEELLLL im done but im afraid i may have to do it over again theres bubbles in the silicone that i just couldent smooth out. any advice?

[Aquaria]

So I was reading about the bubbles last night and some sites said do the reseal it compromises the integrity of the seal and some site said fill and it it don't leak after a few days its safe to use? What do I do fellow canreefers?

I guess it would depend on the size and location of the bubbles

[Aquaria]

They are small bubbles and there all along the seal underneath the seam. What if I retaped it a few mm out and put more silicone would that be safe? If not I may just reseal so I can sleep easy at night

Really hard to tell without seeing it, but if you're not comfortable with it, maybe redo it
