Should I be concerned with this small crack in the bottom right corner of my new 210g setup? Has anyone seen this before?

i have little children and am concerned this tank is going to go, anyonr=e seen anything like this before?
It looks like it will be OK, but I would definitely keep and eye on it and watch for it to get any bigger. Maybe a picture for comparison every now and then.
Did it just happen out of nowhere or was this something that was bumped upon installation and this is the result? Doesn't make sense that it would happen out of the blue.... If you got the tank new I would contact the MFR/ Retailer.... Just my opinion though!?
That definitely looks like it was bumped from the outside by something solid. I cant see how that could happen from pressure on the seams.
what is that tank standing on? maybe one corner of the base is raised slightly and it has cause a massive build up of pressure in that area?
As long as it is not going through the glass anywhere you should be fine though. If it was me I would silicone another piece of glass over to help me sleep at night and just put a trim strip around the top of your stand to cover it.

Good point. From what I understand, the floor joists will run perpendicular to the grain of that the hardwood Flooring was laid and IF that IS indeed correct, Then THIS tank is running lengthwise the floor joints And Not Across them like it should be and Just Maybe This is where the pressure on that corner is coming from..... Just a thought... Something to consider.
