Hello guys I have a tank that has a chip out of it on the bottom right corner. I was planning on using silicone and putting it back together. My question is for people who have done this or has had experiences with this. Is this ok to do and will it hold? Please help.

Sorry to say this, but that'd be a big no for me. The structural integrity of the glass has been compromised there; it's not worth the risk.
 
I have a chip like that on corner of my tank. Been like that for few years with no issues. I just filled chip in with silicone so no one would cut themselve
