Chipped corner

[ClownnGoby]

Hey guys . I bought a used 120gal Marineland tank today and I chipped the corner while moving it . I personally think it will be fine with how thick the glass is but wanted some feedback from other people

You should be fine as long as it’s not into the seam. Make sure the tank is dead level.

I Agree. As long as there aren't any cracks radiating from the chip it should do alright. Can you get a shot from the other angle?

I have a 6ft 180g chipped almost in the same spot but mines higher.

It's been in-service since 2012/13... I cant remember.

It's only a superficial cosmetic blemish

I had forgotten about it until I just read this post

That chip wouldn't concern me much. Leak test it and see what happens...

After seeing this 2nd pic

Oooooh idk. I wouldnt define that as a "chip" but more as a "chunk"

Does your phone take Macro closeup pics?

We really need to see that chunk upclose to see any MICRO-CRACKING.

Heres the concern... it might be fine for now but as those cracks progress... oh my.

Its exactly like a car windshield getting hit by a rock. Day#1 is a small chip/chunk..... Day#7 the crack spreads clear across the whole windshield.

Can you get a super closeup macro pic?

Couple more pictures. I hit it with a flashlight and can’t find any cracks that would spread .

So I put some glass resin in there and then put epoxy over that . Doing a water test on it outside for a week to see if it breaks


Do u think after a week of it holds up it should be fine in long run ?
