148.6L (39.2 gallon) aquarium journal

Update: The new tank might have a small scratch on the right side. That might be a big problem. Does it hold water perfectly anymore or will the tank leak?

Hard to tell from the pic if its a scratch or a crack.
If its a scratch its fine, if its a crack it should be fixed.
 
I can feel the scratch on one side (the back of the glass, not the front part).
Probably done from an algae scraper, my tanks are full of scratches like that.
 
Or sand or gravel caught in a sponge.
You may be able to polish it out, or at least improve it, using toothpaste.
 
Removed some excess snails from the tank today. They were breeding quickly, so I took some action on dealing with the snail problem. I just picked up the snails with my fingers (I washed them with running water before putting my hands in the tank) and disposed of them. But I might use a snail trap next time however.

Meanwhile, the female tetra's wound is a bit paler now. I will continue to monitor her in the next few days.
