The silicone seals on my brand new 56gal cube are turning white after only a few days! Is this normal????????

No. Not sure why they would do that, but they should be clear unless you have some odd UV lighting.

No - no odd uv lighting.

I could cry. This is so frustrating!

All my tanks the silicone turned white? It's transparent but it's white so I wouldn't worry it's just a chemical reaction

Call the company and see what they have to say about it! Caulking on my two newer tanks/both bowfronts are black so I am not much help there.

I believe it's just the light refracting through the silicone, as long as it's 100% silicone and not leaking, then you're fine.
