So I bought this brand new in the Box Marineland 45 gal cube, got it home, inboxed it, filled it to water test it, seemed fine, no leaks. Started my build, got the sand, rock and water in it, and notice this just now. It hasn't been dropped, banged into, or anything since I've brought it home. What should I do?! It doesn't leak, but I'm not feeling confident about outing my MP10 on it and don't know if it's safe! PLEASE HELP!

If It came that way take it back. It might not be leaking now but if it starts leaking down the road you'll be stuck with it
 
Looks like the tank was dropped on the corner. Also looks like somebody put silicone on it? I would return it.

It was in the box. It has other corners with silicone sticking out that don't have chips in the glass. The tank is full now and I've had it for over a week. I don't know if they'll take it back. If they don't, what can I do to ensure its safe?
 
Silicone oozed out of the joints like that is sloppy workmanship. I'd complain to the place you bought it from. Difficult to tell from the photo the extent of the damage, thus no way to tell whether the tank is 'safe' or not. I know of no way to repair damage like that other than just replacing the tank. Sorry.
