I was able to get the same exact tank used again.

Oh cool! Just make sure to do a leak test before filling it up

This is the second tank that I bought.

When moving my new tank on Friday I accidentally chipped the glass. I’m worried it could fail under pressure. Is a chip like this typically safe, or should I consider the tank a loss?

Chipped that tank somehow as well. I guess this is my sign not to get back into saltwater tanks..

You seem to be the danger!

I would go the extra mile and buy it brand new. I've personally also had a bad experience with used tanks so I know what it's like

I already wasted $550 on two tanks. As of right now getting back into the hobby is out of the question for a while
