This is a new Seapora 84 gallon (36"x18"x30") recently purchased at my LFS.
Tank is leveled.
Filled with water and performing a leak test.
I examined the silicone prior to filling with water and did not notice these lines or air / micro bubbles (but there is a chance I could have missed them I suppose). Showed up about ~10 minutes after filling.
Wondering if this is cause for concern.
It is thicker in the middle and then tapers top and bottom. Present on both sides of the front panel. Unsure about the back panel because its now been painted black.

Thanks for any input.

Return it. I don’t know what is with tank manufacturers nowadays, but even the all glass aquariums tanks never used to have this… I have rejected tanks for way less.

Yeah that was my gut feeling, thanks for the reply.
