Just bought this 125 gallon aquarium from petco and didn’t see this till I got home. It’s about 3/4 of the way down the glass and you can’t feel the break when you run your finger across it. It’s the last one in stock, should I return it or risk it?

Return it!

A new tank shouldn’t have significant chips like this…

petco/petsmart get new tank shipments weekly; I recommend requesting an exchange! — they should be able to work with you to get you a new 125 as soon as their shipment comes in!

This is not the worst chip I’ve seen, especially lately! But, any new tank that is damaged like this is best replaced under warranty!
