I just moved and when setting up this tank noticed a small chip. Its a 65 gallon and this was previously in the back corner so no saying how long its been there. This used to be a planted freshwater tank, but I was hoping to finally dip my toes into salt water. Im leaning towards it being fine, but what would you do? Is epoxying or siliconing it over it a good idea? Vertical length is smaller than a quarter. Maybe nickle sized.

How much of the glass does it extend through?
hardly any. the first picture is looking at it through the joining panel at an angle and the last one is looking at it through the joining panel dead on.
 
Is the chip on the OUTSIDE edge of the glass? (I assume but can't tell or sure)
Either way might end up being something you always worry about, although on outside edge better, obviously.
