Yeah, what brookster said. Don't worry about a chip though. Make sure you use plenty of silicone on the back. Alot!

Is a small chip going to be a problem?

 

[Tobykourtney]

Sorry didn't see your post. Yea I put a lot if silicone.

 

[jwh0818]

Do you have a pic of the chip?

 

[Tobykourtney]

Naw I already installed the bulkhead and applied the silicone it's maybe .05 inches deep just a shave of glass.

 

[Tobykourtney]

It probably wouldn't show up on a picture in just super paranoid after cracking the last tank

 

[jwh0818]

Yeah your safe man!!! Btw, if you don't have a heater already. Petsmart has their fluvial heaters half off right now!

 

[Tobykourtney]

The nearest petsmart is over 100 miles away lol

 

[jwh0818]

Fair enough! If you need one I can purchase and ship it to you! You would need a 100w from fluval and it's I think around 12 bucks right now!

 

[Tobykourtney]

I need a heater that's less than 9 inches long to fit in the sump. I feel like that might be a challenge.

 

[jwh0818]

The 100w one is 8" long

 

[Tobykourtney]

The one I'm looking at has a minimal depth of 8 inches and is 11 inches long

The one I'm looking at has a minimal depth of 8 inches and is 11 inches long

[Tobykourtney]

Done

That looks really good!

 

[Tobykourtney]

Thanks man hopefully it doesn't crack this time. I have a hydor pico 300 as the return pump running at 150 gph. Next I have to get lights and RO unit.

 

[jwh0818]

Sounds like it's finally coming together!!! What's the substrate gonna be?

 

[Tobykourtney]

No clue. I'm thinking Fiji pink.
