FlyingFishKeeper Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi, I was setting up a new 10 gallon and noticed these cracks near opposite corners corners, is this something I should be concerned about? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Struggle Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If you’re sure it’s not excess silicone and it is a crack I’d throw it away and buy a new one. Not worth the risk for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanish Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Could it be a scratch and not a crack? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Thank you! @Vanish I'm not sure. I can feel it from the inside surface of the glass, but as far as I can tell not from the outside (although the stand makes it hard to feel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Update: So I just noticed more what look like cracks or scratches in the top left corner again which worries me, so I think for now I'll drain it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 take a razor blade and gently scrape it. if its silicone, itll come right off, and is nothing to worry about. generally a crack will be felt on both sides of the glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
