Edit: I am sorry. It's a chipped. Not crack

Hey guys,

I apologise if this is not in the correct forum thread.

I was just cleaning my 20g long to prepare for being my sump. Somehow the bottom bracket fall out. I don't think that's a problem. But I found this on one corner.

The corner chipped.

I am sorry if the picture is not great.

I got this tank for almost a year. Filled it on and off for quarantine tank.
I don't know if its always that way or I chipped it when the bottom bracket fall out. I can't find any glass chip though

So.. will it be ok?
This tank was full prior to 2 weeks ago. And of course no leaks.

Can't really see a crack with the silicone. Could be fine.

I agree with @Hemmdog, a new 20 gallon long would give you some peace of mind.
