Glass tank question

tassod · 09/21/2013, 09:03 PM

I'm looking at getting a glass tank that has a small chip in the glass on the bottom corner in the middle of the tank. It was chipped when it was moved when it was resting on a dolly. Is it a big deal? Any concerns for leaks or pressure on that point over time? The bottom looks like it has an extra 1/4 lip on the inside because its a rimless tank. Glass is 1/2 inch. its also starphire glass but just on the 3 sides not the back or bottom.

I did not get any unfortunetly. The chip would be on the seam if that helps and lengthwise its the center of the tank. Chip is about 1/2"
