Tank with a chip what’s the risk

[nightmarepl]

Hey guys I’m in the process of buying a Red Sea 525XL
The tank has a small chip off thd front glass bottom left corner how risky do you think this is.

Is your question about risk because you are concerned about the chip, or the fact that it is a G1 RedSea tank with a unsupported front glass? I think the tank in itself, with all the issues they have is more of a concern.
Just my opinion.

What kind of issues do they have?
Also I’m worried it’ll leak or blow out due to the chip

I would not touch it. RedSea tanks are notorious for having the seam on the front panel go out and that is without it being damaged.

Example from a recent thread. You can find them all over by just searching something like RedSea leaking or RedSea failure.

True true haha, wonder if Somone tried replacing the seams or something

We looked at a tank recently that was a fantastic “deal” and the woman claimed no one touched seams…the clear silicone slathered over the chipped away black made me feel she might just be full of it lol
