I am planning on turning a 10g thats just sitting around the house into a shrimp tank, but as i was checking it over for scratches etc, i noticed a deep scratch in the bottom :mad: If you run your finger across the top you can feel it, but if you feel on the bottom of the aquarium, you can't feel it. so i guess its a scratch not a crack, but is this ok? Should i expect problems down the road?
 
Maybe, keep an eye on for a while if its deep.
 
I severly doubt it as long as it is properly supported. But 10 gal tanks are super cheap...just get a new one.
 
thanks guys. lol well considering im a high school student with no job...lol. It is on a base that is too big for it, so it should be properly supported. Thanks!
 
I wouldn't risk it for $10 bucks. If it was to crack the heater alone inside it failing would cost ya more than a new tank, and you wouldn't be worried about it.
 
hm...well i'll just go get a new one then lol
 
There is a big difference in a scratch on a pice of1/8" glass and a scratch in 1/2" or 5/8" glass..
