Tank stand

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey guys, I dont know if the stand caused it(i dont think so as its fully supported) but there seems to be a small chip on the bottom of the glass by the edge. I think its about 1mm on top and 5-6mm on the bottom and about 24mm wide. So its not affecting the silicone. Its near the left side. It was'nt there yesterday. I checked and the stand does fully support the base. Is this bad or can the tank hold? It is not leaking
 
are you sure it wasn't there yesterday? because simply sitting a tank on a stand would not cause a chip like that.

the only thing that would cause a chip would be impact damage - dropping the tank, or banging it on something while moving it or accidentially hitting it with a rigid object etc.

sorry about your tank. can you post pics of the chip?
 
Ill try cause i dont have a camera at the moment. I read on wetwebmedia that if it doesnt leak it should be find. So it looks like it will hold. It doesnt actually affect the silicone. Also another question i have is that i welded the centre piece with the widest part on top supporting the tank and the thinner part keeping it from bending, while the rest of the pop is vice versa. Did i do this correct?
 
And yes i am sure it was not there yesterday. The only people here during the day is my sister and her 3 year old daughter, it might be them.
