    I filled up my 120 gallon today and before i had filed it i saw air bubbles in one seam and as i filled it nothing has changed and they havent expanded or changed. Now a couple hours later im noticing in some seams there are these white dots. Should i be concerned? They are about in the middle of the seal. Thanks

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Another member of this forum just had a similar problem with many air bubbles trapped within the silicon, his went on leak in the area. I would contact the manufacture and provided pictures for them. If you can please post a picture of the seam.

    A few very small bubbles would not bother me, but many would make me nervious.

    Well its morning now and there are no more white spots. There are just a few spots in the seam and 2 very small lines. The other air bubbles are bigger but havent grown or expanded. Unfortunatly all the pictures i try and get come out bad and its hard to tell because of glare.

    do you have a macro setting on your camera/phone?

    If you are taking a close-up picture it will almost always be blurry without the Macro setting enabled . . . .
