Can it be fixed

[stinkydavis]

Was offered this brand new 220 peninsula. The issue is it has a chip on the bottom corner. I was wondering if I euro braced the bottom with a 1” euro brace would that be sufficient? It does seem to go through the silicone but the 1” glass euro brace it would be covered.

I wouldn't risk it. Better off buying a different tank

It’s free hence the contemplation

*The chip itself might not be problematic but the fact that the bottom corner of a 200 gallon tank was compromised at all would make me say nope

So for free, you can have 220 gallons of water on your floor...

(There's a reason its free)

I missed this part... definitely NOPE

Take tank for free

Sell for 100$ as reptile enclosure to some reptile / snake dude

Spend 100$ on yourself

If there are no cracks extending into the glass that might grow and you can cover the chip area completely with a brace, it should be OK. I would definitely test it with water for an extended time outside the house, but I have done similar repairs to damaged tanks.
