Just a quick update here. Petco accepted the return no questions. Of the 3 75 gallon tanks that were on display not a single one had the issues mine had so I'm glad I returned it if not for some peace of mind.

Thank you everyone, I will be returning it today :/. What a pain, worth the peace of mind if it gives me that though. Here is to hoping they have a good one in stock.

Yeah, I had seen that post. Nobody seems to have a real great answer. Maybe that is because there really isn't a good answer other than speculation. I can't stomach the chance of having thousands of dollars of damage in my house so I might call Acqueon tomorrow and see what they say about it. Depending on their answer I guess my next step would be to go inspect the tanks at Petco and see how many suffer from something similar. If most of them do I would have to assume it is par for the course and must be cosmetic only. If the other tanks don't have the issue I guess I'll try and return it and get a new one.

Thanks for the welcome. I tried searching around but couldn't find any posts that had air bubbles of similar size so I thought I'd ask. If you could point me to one that does I'm happy to look through it!

I'm hoping someone can either help ease my mind or tell me to return this tank. I purchased this about a week and a half ago at Petco and quickly noticed a few bubbles where the glass seams meet (see pictures). I'm terrified the seams will give way and spill 75g on my floor in my new house. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it a lot. The first pictures bubble is about an inch and a half long and if I push the glass together it reduces its size (then comes back when I push outward on the glass). The second (which I'm less worried about) is on another panel where the glass meets and is a hole you can see from the outside. I leak tested for over 2 days, but I'm scared it'll just burst months down the road. It really is a shame because the panels are lined up perfectly on all sides.
