The quote from the book is "The intact skin of the glass gives it its greatest strength. For the same reason, guard against damaging the glass yourself when the tank is in use."
Now I am very freaked out because the tank I am getting does have scratches. Its a fair amount. The tank is ten years old, so I just figured that happens over time, but does this weaken the glass significantly? Also, I didn't see any leaks or anything in the sealant, but how worried should I be about ten year old silicone?
