In the process of moving today, I managed to chip the corner of the glass on by 40 gallon.

The pictures are not the best, but the best I can do with the camera I have and my ability at taking photos.

Do you think this tank is still safe to use?

It will always be a weak point but it does not look real bad. You could silicone in a small strip of glass on the inside for piece of mind.
Sanding it a bit will help to keep it from traveling.

agreed band aids can work unsightly but work sanding it with a fine sand paper 180-220 grit is the simple fix it doesnt look shelled deep enough to b a leak worry
