When does a tank crack/chip become a problem

[Vampire fish]

This is like a big chip rather than a crack on the outside corner of the tank. Its a 125gallon and I'v already filled it up with water so nothing leaks or breaks. I am just wondering if you guys think this little break could turn into something much more. Take a look lemme know if you think it will break the tank and also if I can easily fix this please teach me.

I read an old post on here about people with some big chips on corners even in tanks this big being fine. To be a little safe I'll add as much silicone as I see fit. Input still much appreciated.

I cannot see your pics but I have used 5 minute epoxy that dries clear to fix a chipped section on the outside corner of a tank with good results. The repair is noticeable but no leaks!

Same here I can't see the pictures but I can tell you I have had chipped tanks before that did not leak I just smeared silicone on the chip so no one would get cut if they touched it.

Silicone on a chip won't do squat. Logic and a call to an aquarium builder or your local glass store will confirm that. Logic is better IMO.

It's to keep people from scratching/cutting themselves on the chip that's all

Please explain how putting glue on a chip will make it stronger. I look forward to your logic. Feel free to use physics and/or magic fairy dust.

Obviously silicone won't make a chipped corner stronger....but it will make the razor sharp edge safer...
It looks like you are looking for a fight...and the sarcasm in your response begs the question, why are you even bothering to comment? The OP has a valid question and a challenging aggressive response is counter productive.
