      I've seen a chipped tank be fine for years but, if that chip can run through the glass, I would be worried. Might be worth have CDA or someone fill the chip with resin.

      From the net:

      "I recommend you drain that tank and where that chip is and the run, press on it with your finger or thumb from the outside and inside. If it runs more you'll know your answer. Also, watch it as you push to see if it extends a tiny bit then retracts when you release the pressure. If it looks like it moves at all then it's junk. Obviously, if it runs it's no good.

      Draining the tank will be a daunting task since it is closed to 200 gallons. I will need to find (4) 50 gallons drum for this.

      looks like it should be ok to me. As mentioned, it's high on the tank, not supporting much load, backed up by the eurobracing and the chip doesn't appear to go through the glass or silicon, just on the outside. I have a couple good sized chips in my tank, one at the bottom, and have never had a problem. My tank is only 15 gallons though.
