[QUOTE="Danielsj, post: 10626151, member: 195858"] I could do that when is your office hours? Im located in Denmark so theres a bit of a time zone difference. I have already replaced the broken seal and i will be testing if it holds water from tomorrow, im fairly confident it will work. Im also going the be simulating the load case to see where the highest stresses are on the aquarium walls, if the corner with the chip is out of any high stress zones i wont feel bad about using it, as i mentioned earlier its a very small chip with no cracks propogating from it so it shouldnt have weekened the strength of the glass significantly. I have also found out that IM use a safety factor of almost 10 on their glass thickness which gives me further confidence that it will be just fine. I have also talked to several local aquarists who have long time experience with chipped tanks and never had problems. Furthermore i will be checking in with my insurance since im pretty certain they already cover any water damage and they might be able to have some further aquarium coverage in terms of livestock price and such.
