Chipped Glass Edge on Aquarium

[italquam]

I have a 210 gallon Aqueon , it has some chips on the edges, not sure if they are a major issue at all. I know some people say they are OK, others say they are huge issue.

I would appreciate any and all opinions , whether good or bad.

Some just said the chip with the small runners will spread at some point when tank is full so to not use the tank. Makes sense, I will end up just seeing if someone wants this , it might not be worth the risk and work.

I wouldn’t set that thing up. Especially because the chips are on the lower side of the tank (more pressure). Even if it holds water initially, the pressure over time will lead to a big crack and regrets. You could get lucky and not experience that, especially if you have waterproof floors and nothing would get damaged if you have ~210 gallons of water leaked. For me, the risk isn’t worth it, I’d save myself the very likely headache.

That was my thought too. Plus some of the other lower damages look less like chips and more like cracked chunks that go deeper than I'd be comfortable with.

Maybe you can sell it to a reptile person?

It has the built in overflows, so i am not sure they will use it for reptiles. No rush at some point i will post it somewhere.
