Hefty Chip in bottom corner of 220?! Need Help!
I've read about people epoxying chips in tanks with little to no benefit to structural integrity. Is there anything i can do to fix this?! Should i just order a new sheet of glass?!

Hard to tell from that picture but it looks like a big chunk is missing from the corner that gives support to the side pane. If I am seeing it correctly, there is no way I can see fixing that without replacing the entire bottom piece since that is structural and would be a seriously weak point in the seam.

Ok, I'm going to go the other direction, and say just dap some silicone in there and attach your chip back in there, then reattach that bottom trim. You're not going to upset the structural nature any appreciable amount by having a 1/2" piece of glass on the corner not supported. If you're really worried, make a dam with tape and pour epoxy resin in there, the trim piece should prevent the piece from going outward.
