During my move last year my 75g tank got 2 chips in 1 corner. They look superficial but just looking for everyones opinion. I was gonna epoxy them . Whats the verdict? It holds water and the chips are not all the way thru .

Chip 1 looking at it dead on



chip 1 from the side



chip 2 dead on view



chip 2 from side

i did the same thing..........
here's what i did to fix it:
at Home Depot, they sell what is called "plastic corner guard"
here's a link: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Trimaco-5-8- ... /202061350
it comes in different widths
with my tank, i ran a strip from top to bottom, and glued it on with a generous application of aquarium silicone sealer
be sure to use enough silicone so that there are no bubbles or air gaps in it
this must, of course, be done before any leakage occurs, and be sure the glass is very clean and dry before repairing
any excess silicone that squeezes out canbe cleaned away after the repair
worked very well for me!
