Need some help, chip on bottom edge of new tank.

[sooner4real]

I recently went set up my new christmas present which happens to be a 60 gallon cube aquarium. I placed it on the stand I built for it and was removing the packaging and I noticed a large scallop chip on one of the panes of glass on the bottom edge with a small crack as well. So just to be on the safe side decided not to fill it up
Does anyone know where I can get a piece of glass to replace the cracked none and make this tank usable again?

If it’s new take it back and get a replacement. Totally unacceptable for a new tank. You have no idea how difficult it is to replace pane of glass in an aquarium.

Already checked on that. Not going to happen already outside the 30 day return window. So luckily they had the tank on sale so I got a replacement. Here is a photo of its replacement. Just waiting for it to cycle so I can get fish now

Don't want to have a useless aquarium ( at least to me) setting around

The chipped one could be used for a terrarium or for a reptile tank. Sorry you had to replace it wo a refund, but I’m glad you did. That chipped one was a disaster waiting for a time to happen.

Man I love tanks that have some front to back depth as well as height. What’s the planting/stocking plans?

Only thing I would change in that arrangement is move that rock perched in center out into a solo position front’ish right so it looks like it slipped out of the bigger rock pieces and landed more towards front. Keep that angle and flow, just have it reach further into front right area. You’ve already got a depression in sand to set it in there.

That tank is going to look great when done.

You could probably get like a 4”x3” piece of plexiglass or glass cut and paste a patch over it with a hefty silicone layer. Would make a great Paludarium setup.

Have I mentioned before how much I like mudskippers?

Thanks, pkant wise some anubias, java fern, corkscrew val and narrow leaf chain sword also maybe some downoi and balenae.
Live stock dwarf neon rainbowfish, lemon pleco, and orange venezuelan cory and a few threadfin rainbow, and fo a centerpiece i haven't decided on angelfish or dwarf gourami. Also I kind of like the idea of the center rock moving up front and to the low spot, but I so have about 35 more pounds of the rock so I could just add another piece of it and make another cave.
The mudskipper do sound interesting doe the chipped tank.

Take the stickers from the new one and put it on the chipped one and return it
