My name is Tommy. I've been dreaming about owning a saltwater tank for about 3 years now and just found a deal that I couldn't pass up. I found a 180 gallon set up for 800 bucks. While moving the tank I accidentally chipped the bottom at one of the holes drilled for the overflow. It is about the size of my finger tip maybe the width of a toothpick deep on the dry side of the glass. I've spoken to several people that said I should be good. But I would like to try and find someone that has had this problem before and knows how I should proceed. First thing I want to do is fill it up outside and see if it will hold. Maybe leave it for a week or two. And was thinking about sandwitching both sides together between two pieces of glass. The chip is in the overflow so I know that won't have much water in it. I'm just concerned that the pressure inside the main tank will be catastrophic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
