    Emm... I don't think you should worry too much as you have a rather thick silicone But if you are really worried, talk to your tank maker.

    What's your glass thickness? 12mm?
    Agree with Jervis, nothing to be concern about at this time.

    Cheers.

    There's nothing you can do about it unless you wanna dismantle the tank literally, and reseal it....

    You seem to have a braced tank, they should provide support + your silicone is already so thick...

    Thanks for all the replies. Will continue to monitor whether any more new bubbles.

    Yeah, it is only time to panic when the bubbles start to merge with each other to form larger bubbles or when you see bowing of the tank glass.
