so last night i was putting my rock in and i accidentally bumped one of the rocks on the glass and chipped it a little. Its hard to see in the pic but it is about the same size as the tip of a pen. I do not see any little cracks coming off of it, Will it be fine i would hate to get everything in it and have it crack.

Yikes!! That sucks!! I hate to mislead you, so take what I say with a huge grain of salt... I had a bio cube running for 6 months with a similar "chip" and never had a problem. However, I consolidated tanks and have not set up the bio cube since...
I wonder if you could have it filled like you would a windshield? Something to look into?

I have a crack like that on my tank as well. It's on the outside though. Smacked the tank with the palm of my hand to break up a fish fight and my ring chipped it. Never had a problem so I think your safe.

Why don't you fill it up with tap water and leave it in for a few days. Maybe in the garage or somewhere just to be on the safe side. I have had chips in some of my tanks in the past with no problems, but you never know :)
