So I'm spending this weekend getting our 180 tank ready with my oldest daughter. We removed the black sticker on the back on the tank glass to paint it and on the top right corner I see this. It is about 5" from the top right corner. The glass is 3/4" thick and goes in just under a 1/4" . The guy I got it from had the tank standing up on it's side and wondering if a rock got in there slightly?
Do you all think I will be ok? Is this something I have to worry about? I am so upset along with ym daughter because we have done all this work getting ready for this tank and now this.

Please help. Thanks!

I'm no expert either but I would roll with it. It does look like a small piece of gravel or something similar was under it. It's on the outside of the silicone vs inside so that's a plus. Just the fact it's used tank I would fill it outside and leak test it for a few days.
 
still take care of it gently. It might crack easier than new

Yes I have it here under my covered patio to finish plumbing once it's on the stand and then fill it and leave it outside for 3 or 4 days.
