Do you have a chipped corner aquarium?

I am debating if I should use my 60 gallon tank with a chipped corner, two chips in the corner actually. I searched the threads and some of the people said that they have or had a chipped aquarium and there were no issues. A percentage of people said it will crack because of stress because the glass is weaker.

What do you think I should do? People with a chipped aquarium or had one before are encouraged to reply.

If the chip is high on the tank than it is less likely to become a problem, if the chips torwards the bottom where there's more pressure on the glass you have a higher risk. How deep is the chip and wher is it on the tank?
