I think you might be ok, it looks like it is on a heavy glass corner, it looks like you have heavy glass, and the chip does not look that deep, if the tank is full, try putting a good quality super glue on it.
Yeah a lot of water to go south! Is an internal brace an option? Say glass runner up the length of the inside corner to take the load , cheersAgree do not risk that seam,sorry
Thank fishguy was even thinking of say aluminium angle siliconed in the corner if that’s a done thing? Cheersmore concerned with separation between panels ,lets call some experts in no particular order...
@Troylee @Joe Glass Cages @Lowell Lemon TIA...
No that will not help . seam looks like separating between panes above chip ,pic #2Thank fishguy was even thinking of say aluminium angle siliconed in the corner if that’s a done thing? Cheers
Yeah you’re right, it goes back to normal once the water is off it / full, could result in separation eventually better not risk it might turn it into a half tank for a turtle habitat thanks for your helpNo that will not help . seam looks like separating between panes above chip ,pic #2
Very hard to really see what’s going on with just two pictures. Can you share many more? I am incredibly conservative on these situations and would say dont use the tank. This is your home it’s in and not mine. Feel free to call me or we can do a video call. 404-434-3444.more concerned with separation between panels ,lets call some experts in no particular order...

Hey mate I’m in oz so can’t call, I’m with ya on this aswell I don’t want all that water etc over the house, It’s definitely the panel separation in that section where it’s been knocked or something, I’m thinking of pulling the panel off and having a look.Very hard to really see what’s going on with just two pictures.

Any advice on resealing the panel if all looks ok I gather I don’t need to do a full strip down? Thanks for your assistance cheers
I see this as medium risk and would do a re-seal and can send you easy instructions.Ok so I’ve decided to strip the tank down and rebuild the area where I suspected damage seems fine but up top where the support goes there’s a chip be sanded it back but worried it might be an issue (attached photo) as this is where the support goes thinking it may be ok any thoughts cheers
Thanks vetteguy pls send through much appreciated, was also thinking of getting a glassier to cut say 100mm of the top of all the panels while it’s apart as it’s pretty high anyway ?? 600mm to 500mm to avoid any risk ??I see this as medium risk and would do a re-seal and can send you easy instructions.
You should have done a video call with Joe at Glass Cages when he asked you, for he is an Expert, you could have moved your phone or computer all around the damage, all you need is an internet or cell connection, I use to do video calls all the time when my wife was working in China, perfect video, much better then pictures.Hey mate I’m in oz so can’t call, I’m with ya on this aswell I don’t want all that water etc over the house, It’s definitely the panel separation in that section where it’s been knocked or something, I’m thinking of pulling the panel off and having a look.
