ZeroEvoX Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi all, I purchased a used fusion 20 off craigslist. Picked it up yesterday and it was in rough shape, decided to give it a vinegar water bath over night, white I was scrubbing it down this morning I noticed a small chip on the top of the glass on the side panel.i didnt notice it when I picked it up, think I was to excited. Is this tank shot? It's pretty small. See photo attached. Quote Link to comment
Joevember Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It would drive me crazy looking at it, but it should be fine. It's so small of a chip it shouldn't cause any problems down the road. If you want it to look a little better try to fill it with windshield epoxy. 1 Quote Link to comment
FISHnChix Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Looks like it is at the top I would guess it would be fine, but honestly everyone who responds is doing just that guessing lol.. I think the glass box we use in this hobby is the cheapest part and for my peace of mind I wouldnt use it. I would be afraid that it might spider like a windshield does once you get a small knick in it from a rock.. 1 Quote Link to comment
ZeroEvoX Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks so much for the input, I think a lid cover will hide it, Going to take the chance, It held for 24 hours full of water so we'll see , i had one of my clients who is in the glazing buisness and he said its so small and so close to the edge on top it shouldn't be an issue, i know theres no guarantee of course... 1 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yeah, right there on the polished edge, facing into the tank no less, I think it will be safe to use. 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Mine has a few chips and has been no issue but it depends on if it's got line around the chip which would show its cracking and how deep the chip is. 2 Quote Link to comment
ZeroEvoX Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I had an im nuvo 8 back in the day and i had a bigger chip on the top radius corner from banging it with the light , thing held for 2 years. And theres no visible stress around the chip. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tailfisher Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I wouldn't worry to much, just like when they drill holes for overflow and return lines there is usually some chip out. 1 Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It will be fine. We started to cut down our AIO tanks in the showroom. The fusion glass is very thick and takes a ton of scoring before it will snap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
