Glass is for strength and stability why accept a brand new damaged tank that you would ideally like to set up for year to come? In this hobby...
no doubt return it - chips have a way of becoming cracks real fast.....
LOL -- to lower or stabilize and why? ..... read my post above -- I like the comment in general (perhaps not to this specific thread, but...
Yeah, you all don’t always get me – My boss once described a foreign delegate working for our company doing business on our soil and asked me why...

1. Do not run a skimmer during the cycle 2. yes, regular schedule for the lights 3. Do not set up the refugium yet, there is nothing to sustain...
