Should I be worried about this crack/scratch?

32-gallon BioCube - been running about 3 weeks. Just noticed this on the OUTSIDE corner. I can feel it with my fingernail, but on the INSIDE I feel absolutely nothing.

Not structural, so no worries there. Just a bit of an eye sore for you. Scratches happen, just kind of a bummer

Nope just a scratch. If acrylic can buff out but much more difficult with glass.

I am absolutely fine with it as an eyesore (took me 3 weeks to even notice it!). I'm just worried if it's a crack, if it will eventually grow/shatter. :-o

Reminds me of my tank, not a big deal it’ll hold water all will be fine. I wouldn’t be worried at all about your ding should be A-ok

That's good news - I don't care about the looks (it's tiny and barely noticeable), but just worried it could grow/shatter. How are you confident it's just a scratch vs a crack?

If you don't feel it on both sides of a single pane of glass it is a scratch or at most a chip

Throw some 100% silicone on there if you are really concerned.

Also what's with the slow response times folks? I posted this 5 minutes ago and only have 5 replies so far. :p
