Hi all - I'm new to the forum (and fishkeeping) so this is my first of many newbie questions. I'll introduce myself properly and share some tank pics on another thread, but for now I could do with some quick advice;

I've bought my first aquarium, a 35cm square 40litre "AquaOne", cleaned it up, filled it, cycled it, added my first few fish and then noticed it has a very small chip on the bottom corner (see photos). Is this a problem?

If it was empty I'd take it back and swap it. As it is, that would be a colossal mission so I'm tempted to leave it if it's just cosmetic.

So the question is - does this compromise the tank structure in any way?

that shouldn't be a problem. If worried you can take a bit of aquarium sealant to the outside of that spot to fill the gap.

Only worry is id worry if its sharp and you could cut yourself.

But aquarium sealant would also take care of that
 
I think it's fine. I have a much bigger chip on my 55 gallon and it still holds water and is stable:)
