First off happy to be here, looking forward to sharing in the community once I'm up and running. I'm in the process of setting up a 90 gallon tank and one of my top glass pieces fell into the tank and has put a scratch in the bottom glass. If I run my finger nail over it it will catch only slightly, I wouldn't say it's any deeper than a hair. Is this something I should be concerned about? Has anyone else scratched a tank like this? What were your experiences?

Welcome to Reef2Reef, ReefNoob2345!

Unless you've got a good-sized chip in the bottom, I _think_ you should be OK. Bottoms get scratched up by rocks and sand all the time, after all . . . A hairline scratch shouldn't cause too much trouble.
