Hi all,
I'm emptying out a tank at the moment, and I dropped a piece of equipment on the edge of the glass, causing a small fracture of the glass on the inside.
Is this tank going to be unsafe to use in the future?

It appears to be a scallop chip with no radiating cracks. If this is accurate, then there is no structural issue at all. You can fill the chip with epoxy if the edges are sharp.
