Mkodom1 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hey was wondering if this chip could cause this tank to fail later down the road? Bought the tank used and found this underneath where they had the thermometer sticker. https://photos.app.goo.gl/sH3Q1bk7mmndo5nh7 Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Welcome to the community @Mkodom1! It definitely looks like a chip with a crack that hasn’t terminated yet. I’d be concerned about using it in most settings. What size is the tank itself and the chip, approximately? 1 Quote Link to comment
Mkodom1 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 It is a 29 gallon tank. The chip out of the corner is 1/2" and the overall cup of the glass removed is 1" round. It does not go all the way to the silicone. There is some glass between the chip and the seal. Also it's about 6 " from the bottom of the tank. Quote Link to comment
748S911 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 29 gallons, I wouldn't risk it. Get a new tank. Quote Link to comment
Mkodom1 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thanks for the help! I'll start shopping for a new tank. Quote Link to comment
pricewayne Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Sounds like a shady seller hiding it under the sticker 🤨 Sorry to hear but fingers crossed for a better one 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment
