Finally getting a larger tank with a sump. I love my nano but I couldn't pass up the deal. Was getting ready to start shaping the rocks and I mistakenly picked up a rock by a old crusted over dead reef piece and as I was setting it in the plug pulled out and I threw the rock into the corner of the aquarium. Luckily, I think, it was at the top. Now I have a nice crack on the corner about 1.5 inches down from the top on the side. It's cracked thru completely on the corner. It's about 2 inches long and goes at a 45 degree thru the corner of the glass on the side. About a 1/8 from the silicone. It's the side piece. I will get a picture tomorrow I was just frustrated and went home for the night. No picture I don't even want to look at it. Is it safe being at the top as it will only have an inch of water in it or am I looking for another tank. Thanks and I hope it's in right forum. Can't wait to learn from you guys
New to me 60gal cube. Cracked it

I think there's a better than even chance the crack is going to spread - especially once you get some water in it. Sorry, wish I could be more optimistic.
Sorry about the crack. You are not the only one. I am there with you. My crack happened when someone lightly dropped it on my metal stand... perhaps trying to avoid crushed fingers. I tried to super glue it and the corner is solid as a rock now and doesnt touch the silicon part either, but still... the risk was too high for me. Peace of mind...

That’s a doozy!
Sorry to see that. If mine wasn't at the top I wouldn't consider it. Just was hoping someone else had first hand experience on the top lol. I see lots of bottom damages out there.
What size was yours and did you upgrade with new one?
Mine is a 94? I did get a new one, same size.
