Chip in tank

[Rikske1991]

Hey there, found a chip on the bottom of the outside corner of my tank 66g, its not leaking.
Still fine to use?

Because I'm overly cautious, and also because it's right on the seam....I'd (personally) get another tank.

There are two concerning things here

1) It's chipped along the silicone. If part of the glass touching the silicone came loose I would get a new tank

2) It is at the lowest point on the tank and will have 100% of the water pressure pushing on it all the time. This would concern me in the long run, not necessarily right now, but 6 months from now when you think everything is fine, the seam may let go.

Only being 65g, I would go get another one. It sucks, but peace of mind is what you need.

I had a 190g tank with a chip half way up one corner for 3yrs. EVERY TIME I looked at the tank I thought about the chip and what could happen.
