Ate these pics better?

Matt, thanks. The glass you cannot feel anything on either side. I wonder if its from being strapped down in move and some bumps.

Definitely could be.

 

[MadReefer]

Is it safe to use? The guy claims it never leaked.

 

[Sponge]

Is the line I see here a reflection or in the glass

 

[Sponge]

If it’s just a reflection. I feel the tank is safe. Chips don’t really effect tanks much. Just cracks. And I see no cracks

 

[MadReefer]

I believe it is and will double check tomorrow.
What about that 1st pic?

Someone else may have to by and give a second opinion.

Looks good in first pic

I love corner tanks! Currently have a 54 corner. Looking forward to seeing it up and running

So took another look at the tank and that is not a crack. Just weird to describe as it black silicone and this is behind it looking clear. I checked and seems like a tight seal.
I tried to get more pics but nothing better than what I posted.
Not sure now if I should go for it or toss and cut my loses.

I truly believe you are fine. But why not set tank up somewhere safe like out side. Fill it. And see what happens. Be rough with it. Tap the glass and shake. If t holds under a little stress it will never let go under normal use. Plus you take two pieces of glass with a half inch space between them the Silicone sticks to glass so well that it will not separate. Despite a big gap like that. If no crack. You are good. Now if that was at the top and not in a corner. I would worry. Remember you also have the bottom glass holding the corner. Tanks just don’t separate from bottom corners

I guess I have no choice. Will pull the bulk heads off and put a few inches of water in and see.

I plan to use new sand and found this opinions appreciated. I want a larger size grain than what I have now as the Gyre blows it everywhere that with MP20, yes I finally found it, will blow sand all over.

Also, both my led's wont fit across so was thinking of replacing it with this. Thoughts?

You might want to take a look at the sand that @Premiumaq carries. I have two bags of it. Once I upgrade to RR tank, I will be using what I have and ordering additional sand. It's really nice! Here is a video

I like the crushed coral look, to me it makes it look like it’s closer to the surf zone.

Sorry don’t have any experience.

What size grain do you plan on using?

 

[MadReefer]

Went to remove bulk heads but wrench was to small. Ran to Harbor Freight and picked up a bigger size wrench. Bulk heads are off and water added just enough to cover that anomaly.
so far no immediate leaks

I'd fill it all the way up to but more pressure on it.

 

[MadReefer]

I thought about it but was up & running.
it's in my garage and the HOA doesn't allow water run off of any kind. Yes people actually drive or walk around to report you.
Guess they don't have a life so want to make others miserable.

mini flakes

 

[MadReefer]

I don't like small grain. 5mms is big night try the 2.7
