Hello all, my girlfriend accidentally chipped the corner of my tank trying to put the lid on, pictures are below. Should I be concerned about it shattering or getting it worse or will it be fine?? Or is there something I can do, like glass repair or something?? Freaking out rn

No, that is harmless.
1. It's a shallow scallop chip that does not have spreading cracks
2. The chip does not expose the silicone
3. It's at the top of the tank where pressure is lowest.
 
I agree this appears to be mainly cosmetic. I would evaluate in the daytime in good lighting though.. Good advice above! Best of luck:)
 
Thanks for the replies everyone! I was totally freaking out for a bit lol, I just got a 60gal AIO long as well but just started the cycle today and I wanted to keep both so I could turn the 60gal into an eel tank!
