CAD Lights 42 Glass Chip/Crack

[cmcimino]

Yesterday I purchased a used CAD Lights 42. The tank was in great condition, came with the standard sump, Skimz UP22 sump, SWC 120 cone skimmer, the tank, and the stand. As I was unpacking everything from the car I slightly bumped the sump against the glass and chipped a piece off. My heart sunk, I just threw my new purchase down the drain!! I feel awful. I wanted to get everyones opinion on the chip/crack. Should I suck it up and purchase a new tank, or roll with it? Also is it worth my time to replace that panel, and reseal the tank? Pictures below.

I personally would just sand really well so that it’s not sharp at all. Hopefully someone with some more glass experience will chime in though. That’s a bummer either way
