So I purchased a new to me Red Sea Reefer 525XL and am ready to finally fill it with water. The previous owner had it up and running with no issues. After I purchased it I began researching for ideas and came across all the issues with seams giving out and i started to get worried. I have found that a lot of these issues dealt with bubbles in the silicone and the tanks not being level. I have attached some images of the seams and was wondering if it should be anything to worry about. I know that these are from the glass scraper but none seem to go into the adjoining glass pane. Resealing is not an option but would greatly appreciate any feedback!

I would say 'no'. - However I would send the pictures to RedSea Tech support and ask them. I can say that I have had the same type of areas on my reefer - from scraping. Some of yours look concerning (to me).. (i.e. concerning enough to contact them
