So I got this 75 gallon used. It has some chips on the edges. Any way I can fix them? Or be worried about the tank failing?

I don't think I would use the tank unfortunately. 75g is a lot to clean up.

I used windshield repair kit on a chip on my tank but wasn’t as deep as that. I think I would go with a different tank. Petco has 75 gallons for $140 with half off sale and $20 off for new customer sign up.

Yeah I ended up just buying a new one from petco. I'll tear this one down and maybe save the good panels just in case I need a reoair!

Hey friends. Could use some help. Similar appearing chip on the corner of my 20g tank but I just noticed it and it’s already holding water and fish. I have no idea how long it has been there. Do I need to trash the whole thing or if it’s holding water, I’m in the clear?

Pics would help, never a good situation though.

I would be way too stressed with that crack. My recommendation is to just toss it and buy a new one it will save you a headache in the long run.

I would bud if youre close to 93458 CA ill give you a 20 gallon tank for free i had freshwater fish in it but I moved out of my moms so took the tank down. If youre not close then I would say take advantage of petcos dollar per gallon sale
