Micro Bubbles Forming In Silicone

What's up guys. I got a used 210 gallon tank from my friend. The tank has to be around 10 years old or so. I noticed today there were a little bit of micro bubbles in the silicone on one corner of the tank. Should I be worried about this? Take a look.

Realistically it should be fine. It isn't in the primary seal area. If it spreads deeper then time to think about resealing.

Ok that makes me feel a lot better. So the inside seal is the secondary seal and the seal holding the glass together on the seams is the primary seal?

Yeah the overlay is really just a secondary. The seal that's in the groove is critical.
