How to repair a chip?

[cabrego]

I have a significant chip on my 90g. The chip is on the union of the 2 glass panes. If I tried I could probably remove the chip by hand, but I am afraid that it would disrupt the seal.

The tank does not leak and has been operating like this for a very long time. I play to use this tank for my saltwater setup, but I would like to repiar the chiped section.

What can I do to repiar this. My first thoughts are to fill in the cracks with a epoxy type puddy of some kind. What do you think?

Do yourself a favor and take a hammer to it.....buy a new tank

There has to be a solution that does not involve throwing this tank in the trash

i have a AGA 90 with a large chip in one of the sides , it has been there for over 13 years just leave it alone and it will be fine

Here are a few photos, there is no glass missing; however, the chipped piece appears to be mostly separated. Also the seal looks completely unaffected by this.

This is an 90g AGA.

mine is just like that, if its not drilled you can just turn the tank around and you wont even see it

if it was going to crack farther in would have....make sure it is level fill it with water try wiggling all the sides, if it isnt leaking it wont...just my experiance from working in a glass shop, im sure someone much smarter then me has other ideas, just weigh the risk, after all i wont be cleaning up the mess or paying for a new one.
