![]() I personally would not fill that tank that second crack/chip looks badass and not in a goodway lol and for the record my advice is to be takin with a grain of salt iv never had a big tank so i dont know what kind of stress 120g of water will do to it

![]() I've been told, by my aquarium builder, that it's not the shells that are an issue, but the nasty jagged chips. If it is really jagged see if you can have is sanded/ smoothed a bit to make it less likely I crack.

![]() For like 4-600 bux for brand new tank why risk thousands of dollars in livestock and potentially 10s of thousands in repairs from water damage?
Depends how much of a gambling man you are

![]() The location and nasty look of that second chip would be enough for me to retire the tank. Not based on any professional reason but as mentioned above, for the price of the worst case scenario... I just wouldn't risk it.

![]() I had a big chip in the front corner of my last tank (97g) and you could actually see into the tank through the gouge. We stripped all the inner seams, installed an inner cleat along the front bottom and redid all the seams. I'm sure the same could work for you.

![]() I would just go to glass shop and get a peice of SALVAGE 10-12mm and replace the panel. Its a easy fix IF you know how to properly rebuild a tank, other wise it will just cause more issues with leaks and other stuff
OR If that panel is against the wall and not seen you could double glaze it with another peice of glass if your afraid of rebuilding the tank. I have done that a few times on larger tanks, infact I did it on my uncles 260g turtle tank But I would replace the side.... Just cuz I know what it feels like to come home and find a tank flooding your place
