Tank Problem

[jdprice1988]

hi all,

i recently bought a rio 240 for a tidy price. however, i have noticed a tiny chip on the front glass panel. it is about 2mm in radius. i cant feel the chip with my finger nail but only if i use a fine needle point can i feel it and then its only slightly. it may be a stupid question but i really dont want a pond in my living room

will this affect the strength of the glass and do i have anything to worry about? the guy i had it from had it filled for two years and he had only just emptied it with no problems. am i worrying too much? could it be just a defect during the manufacturing process?

thanks in advance

Can you get a picture of the glass chipped area? Maybe that would help us judge it with you. I have some tanks with minor chips in the glass that are not in a location to really affect the strength, but I will not say that is true of any chip.
