question about a chip in a tank

[jimmie86]

i have a 20 long tank and noticed a very small chip in the bottom glass on the inside. its pretty small, would it still be ok to set up or should i just buy a new tank?

Sorry couldn't get the best pictures and its a little dirty and scratched up. Hopefully those help.

20s are cheap, what 20 gallons of water in your house can be expensive to clean up

+1. I would definitely get a new tank.

yeah, that's true.

From the blurry pictures, it sort of looks more like a crack than a chip to me. May be fine, or may continue to split. I don't think anyone can really guarantee you -based on those pictures - that it won't get any worse.

If it were me, I would wait until Petco runs their next dollar-a-gallon sale and just buy a new tank for $20. Then I would not have to worry whether that crack would get any worse.
