Hi everyone,
I have a 125 gallon tank. I was taking one of the hoods off my tank and the handle slipped off. The result was the glass hood smacking against the tank and taking a chip off. The chip is 1/4" in diameter and about 1mm deep. It's been fine for one week, but I'm terrified the structural integrity of the tank might be compromised. Since then, I've filled in the chip with glass epoxy. It seems fine, but 125 gallons on my floor would be disastrous of course. I'd hate to shell out more $$$ for a new one. I need some experts to weigh in here. So what do you think, can this small chip lead to bigger problems?
