New 180 rimless issues

[Rangerbob86]

I finally received my 180 rimless I had ordered a few months back from my LFS (which I later found out was ordered from glasscages...). It actually looks pretty decent and is built like a tank. I have a few concerns though...

1) There is a crack/chip on the backside towards the bottom. It doesn't look like it reaches the silicone as seen in the pictures. The tank also has trim going around the bottom on the inside. The LFS doesn't think it will be an issue, but we are still planning on filling it with silicone before filling the tank.

2) One corner of the tank does not touch the stand. I assume using styrofoam is the best fix for this, but any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Can't see any pics

That 4th pic is scary...When the glass isn't leveled on the corner part of the tank I can see an issue arising and I would risk it.

Do you think foam would help with this?

For Acrylic yes, not sure about glass..especially when the edge doesn't even touch with the bottom part.

If it isn't perfect, return it!

That is sketchy. I would not trust that at all.. Exactly what above post said ^^^ if not perfect return it. Its no joke when you have 180 gallons on the floor..
