Unfortunately I chipped the top left corner of this tank while setting it up. It's only had water in it for a day... So it's like brand new. I don't think it's in any way structural but since I get paranoid about things, I am not going to use this tank in my new condo.
So I am selling but you would have to decide if this is safe or not and take the "risk" which I think it's very low. It's a chip on the very outside of the glass. Very thin but it goes towards the silicone. See pics:

I barely tapped the top corner with a metal level, this was not hit hard at all. I'm guessing it would be good to silicone.
Also, one of the baffles in the back was removed to fit a Tunze skimmer. Nothing at all structural and doesn't effect how the tank runs/works.
Sigh... this was already an expensive build!
Paid about $350 with tax, want to get $150. I think it's a crazy good deal as long as you are comfortable with the chip.
