tank chip

My name is Paul and I received your message in regards to your SR80. I’m sorry to hear you had an accident with your aquarium and unfortunately we do not do any repairs or have extra glass panels for any of our aquariums. A glass shop may be able to do the repair, but in order to do so, you will have to remove the front glass carefully and clear out all the silicone before re applying it on. The drying process can take a few days and be sure to leak test it if you do get it repaired.

Oooh, that's a nasty looking and deep chip. There are two things that concern me. The first is the depth and the fact that it's gone into the silicone. The second is its jagged nature. This means that it is far more likely to stress fracture - especially with change in temperature.

I know it's not what you're going to want to hear, but IMO, it's new panel time.
