How concerned should I be with this crack?

[Keybilly]

I recently picked up a 95 gallon cube at a great price but upon working on taking out the old silicone to replace it with new silicone and scraping off the black back that the previous owner had painted I discovered this crack at the bottom of the overflow corner. How concerned should I be that this could get worse and what would you suggest fixing it with if it’s fixable? Thanks so much for your help!

Are you resealing it? Have you thought about turning the panel upside down towards the top end? Glass panel should be even thick or matching. If not, I wouldn't trust it.

I just bought it unfortunately, I’m not sure if my husband and I damaged it bringing it home or if we just didn’t notice the crack. That’s a good idea for turning those those panels around since I’m working on cutting most the bad silicone out anyways

I am planning on resealing it yes! I knew it was a project tank going in but didn’t know about the crack. I got like $2,500 worth of stuff for $500… the sump alone went for $500 new so it was a nobrainer but still the crack is a bit disappointing. I love the idea of flipping the corner cracked piece of glass

I have used tanks with chips worse than that. Nobody can offer any guarantees, but I would use it.

Not great but it looks like a clean scallop on the overflow side so I’d be less concerned than if it were anywhere. That said, bit of a tough sell.
