Hey all, Long time lurker here enjoying all information. I set up a new Landen tank about a month ago and just noticed a bubble in the front seam. Looks to be about 1" long and 1/8" top to bottom. I'm not sure if it is new or has been there since the beginning. I've contacted Landen but no idea when I'll hear back. Any reason for concern here or opinions on it?

I'd definitely say there's reason for concern based on where it's at, but I'd wait to see what Landen says and keep a very close eye on it. The silicone used on these is really good and it looks like there's still just enough solid adhesion to hold up for now.
Nice scape by the way.

I feel the same, but it is nice to hear from someone with more experience. Landen replied requesting some pics, so I'm waiting to hear back. Thanks for the compliment on the scape. I think it's a good start, but seeing all the awesome tanks on here there is a lot more I want to do.
I have similar bubbles though not as big. I just continue to monitor the size of the bubble and as long as they don't get bigger I don't worry too much. Mine has been a year so far and the bubbles seem to stay the same. And I also have a tiny(~1mm) bullseye damage on one of the side glasses from when I scaped the tank and dropped the lava rock accidentally.

I received an email basically saying the same thing as both of you mentioned. I was happy to get a quick response from the company though, I wasn't expecting that. They said to keep an eye on it and let them know if it gets worse. Calms my thoughts of 50 gallons of water and fish on my floor.
For me it calms even more to have a water damage coverage on the house insurance
Do you know if that includes a fish tank? There are exceptions in the fine print of those coverages so I’d confirm.For me it calms even more to have a water damage coverage on the house insurance
Yes, it even covers damages to the setup(tank and equipments) if I remembered correctly, only thing not covered are animals in the tank

I’ll definitely look into that. Didn’t even cross my mind.
