Chip on Rimless Tank

[spartanman22]

Just noticed this small chip on the top of my rimless tanks front pane. About 1’ from the left seem and 3’ from the right seems. Seems like it’s not a structural concern but wanted to get others thoughts. Joys of a tank with small children .

For context it’s a rimless custom water box AIO 10mm glass.

i would think youre fine. i remember when one of my little guys threw a marble. hit my tank and instantly shattered it . but we can call in @Troylee or @UncommonSense. theyre the experts!

It’s not ideal on a 4ft span of 10mm glass, but it’s also not a deal breaker!

How tall is the tank?

At the top of the tank, there is minimal water pressure.

I would use this tank.

 

[Troylee]

I wouldn’t sweat it personally.

16” tall

I can’t get a great face on shot but the depth of the chip doesn’t even extend below the slight bevel on the edge of the glass. So it’s super shallow. Maybe 3/8” x 1/8” x 1/16” deep

16” tall

Oh yeah, you’re fine!

You said custom tank, so I was imagining 24”+ tall being possible!

This gives me anxiety just reading. Excuse me while I purge all marbles from my house.
