Does these seals look good?

Hey everyone,
I’m in the process of upgrading my 40 gallon breeder to a 60 gallon breeder while Petco has there sale going and I just picked one up this morning. I just want some of your guys opinions on this seal on the bottom if its safe to fill or should I return it for another one.

Looks like they were lazy at the factory and didn't smooth it down. If there is ample silicon between the glass and it looks good/no bubbles, you could probably fill it. But there's always that old saw about if they screwed up the finish, what else did they screw up that you can't see?

If it's easy to take back and they have another one, no reason not to, right? You'll sleep better. If the pet store is over an hour away (like mine), or you lost the receipt, you could always test fill it on the porch and leave it there for a week. Make sure you put some foam under it or something if you do. Good Luck!
