Tank Crack???

Gonna Need A Bigger Tank
I know this is hard to see, but if you look at the photo below, you're looking at the seams of my 30 gal cube. What I'd like opinions on is the long vertical line you see in the "center" of the tank edge. The horizontal line I drew on the glass is to try and mark any "progress" of the crack.
You can see below the horizontal line that the vertical "separation" has not occurred.
Has anyone witnessed this before? Is it impending doom and a flood of biblical proportions (or at least 30 gallons of biblical proportions)????

to be honest...it doesn't look good...maybe not now, but in the future you are looking at some water on your floor...:(
 
I've done some further examining and it "seems" (no pun intended) that the actual "edge" of my front glass is not what I'm looking at. If this makes sense, the front panel of glass (which you see in the photo) continues all the way to the edge and the seam of it (w/ the side panel) is on the side (which you can't see in the photo).
Makes me wonder if that's the silicone splitting or something?????
But why/how???
 
I noticed the same thing on one of my tanks. I went to the LFS and looked at some of the brand new tanks they had, and saw the same thing (if I see your photo correctly). Its more of a "space" in the seam than a crack. Go to the LFS and take a look for yourself. At least that is what I am saying to myself to remain calm, LOL.
 
Better be safe than sorry. Anyway you can just replace the tank. Or do you have it drilled, etc that would make it too difficult.
