Cracked Sump? Need advice

[Cyzax]

So I finally got my 220 filled with rock and sand and about to start the cycle. I noticed the external return pump was up against the cabinet more than I wanted so I attempted to move it a bit.

After trying to shuffle it, I saw the below:

Felt the inside of the glass and outside and I don't feel anything and of course its not leaking, but the last thing I want is to fill this with fish and corals to have the sump break open. I was frustrated enough to push on it to see if it would continue to crack, but it stayed the same. Should I rebuild this thing in your opinion?

I would get a different sump... wouldn't feel safe with a crack like that

was it because of the pump?

My sump did the same thing I just patched it with another piece of glass..

Replace it.

I would think the peace of mind would be worth replacing it...

I have repaired a display tank on the return that was close to the top of the tank & it worked fine. I had to drill a small piece of glass then silicone it. But with a sump & the crack by the pump with the vibration I would not chance it.

Decided I'm too paranoid to leave it like that, so will look for a 55 gallon replacement. Thank you all for your advice
