Chipped tank.......

[abe77901]

I am looking to buy a 75 gallon oceanic but it has a chip on it half way up on one corner, its about 3/4 inch long and 1/4 inch deep. In your best opinion, should I leave this tank alone, or do you think it will be ok....they want 200.00 for tank and stand. (New)

I would'nt think it would be a big deal other than cosmetic. I have seen lots of tanks very filled w/ a chip on a edge. I do understand your concerns though. I would have to think real hard. First thoughts though, Pass.

Hard to tell without actually seeing it, my gut feeling tells me,,, leave it.

I had a 150 that had several chips in it. It was fine and never leaked the entire time I had it.

However, for the price I'd consider passing. You can get a lot of tanks for just a little more money that wouldn't have the chips.

Have them reduce it more!!!

heck, for that much might as well buy peej's setup, its like 120 gallons or something for 250! i personally would be extremely wary about a chip in the tank, maybe silicone it???

I just bought a 110 w/stand from dave, it has some scratches that I can remove with a scratch kit, and a chip on the left side. I don't think it will be a big deal, in fact, I think I may be able to make the ship go away. I am going to experiement on it with a windshield repair kit. 150 bucks, so I definately wouldn't pay that price for a 75
