Im gonna say no... as its too close to the silicon... how thick is the glass and how deep is the deepest part of the chip?

IS there enough area where the silicon joins on the glass?
Do you see any exposed silicon?

Here are some better pictures. Could I use an epoxy ?

It looks like you have exposed silicon.
That corner impact is quite sever and will cause a fault at that corner with the potential to leak in the future.

93G is a lot of water to take a gamble on.
Id say that tank is done, but maybe someone more experienced can chime in.

As for expoxy id say no. Once you have exposed silicon, its pretty much over.
