Hello -
first and foremost, I have a 55 gal tank that sits 99.9% level (i notice the left side is about 1/4 an inch higher than the right side, at most..
on the left side (again where water is sitting higher), on the very bottom left about an inch above the top of my sand, after doing my magfloat and evidently picking up a piece of sand, i have a 1" long scratch. I can feel it from the inside and can't even slide my fingernail into the groove up and down, but can definately feel it..
when light hits it it looks more like a crack, but then again i don't know exactly what scratched glass looks like - it just looks shimmery in the scratch when hitting it head on with light.. There's no spiderwebbing, its as if a dog hair or something was stuck against the glass.. verticle, 0 branching.
Just very paranoid as this is the headboard to my bed and a leak/break would probably kill me if it happened during the night, or at the very least flood my bedroom and ruin about everything I own.
Just trying to check up on the safety of having this scratch, could care less about it asthetically..
Thanks a billion.
