Help!!

So I have a glass tank not used yet and just noticed there's a little chip in it it's not all the way through. Do you think if I use sealent on it it'll be ok or would that be too risky?

 

Did you just buy the tank, or was it sitting around for a while?

 

I just got it but this was the last one at the store.

 

Return it.

 

+1 to that. Return it and patiently wait for them to get a replacement. Chips and scratches reduce the integretity of the glass and may allow a blowout which might happen the day you fill it or a year down the road.

 

no doubt return it - chips have a way of becoming cracks real fast.....

 

Well the chip is less then a cm. I Should still get another? It's on the outside.

 

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 there is never a need to rush anything - don;t worry about having to return the tank and wait for another to arrive. In the least I would return to the store and request a partial refund -- that is if you are going to use the tank and not get a new one.....which you should do !

 

Definitely return it, please

 

weigh the inconvenience of returning the tank against the inconvenience of picking your dead fish up off your floor and cleaning up the mess. not to mention the damage a blown out tank will cause.
