Broke Reefer!
As some of you might remember, I inherited an old hex tank and stand when I bought my 90g. I've been in the process of getting equipment, etc., to finally set that tank up. Aside from having a light and a controller, I'm pretty much ready to get the tank cycled - rock work is done, I had the stand refinished and canopy custom made, and have all of the other equipment ready to go. Even have the saltwater made and waiting! So I went to finalize my rock structure and noticed a large scratch(?) running straight up one pane of glass, almost from the bottom to about 3" from the top. I can clearly feel it on one side but it doesn't penetrate through to the other side so its not a full crack. I'm thinking either (1) I accidentally scored it with a rock when I was moving things around, or (2) there was an existing imperfection that has now developed into a partial crack due to the weight of the canopy. I've run my fingers over every inch of the outside of the glass and do not feel any evidence that it has cracked through. Do you guys think I'm safe in assuming this is just a scratch, or is this something that could ultimately crack through to the other side?
