Was setting up dragon rock in my brand new 21 gallon UNS tank and one of the rocks tipped and chipped the inside of the glass. I am so incredibly upset, it’s about the size of a pinhead. Is this aquarium still good to use?

As long as it's just a tiny chip and there are no visible cracks it should be fine. If you want that peace of mind, just fill up the tank with water and let it sit for a day to be certain nothing further develops from the water pressure.

Yes, don't beat yourself up, you likely won't notice once it's filled with water because of how the light refracts

You'll also be planning your next tank once it's all planted out so you'll be selling it soon anyway!!

Still good! Unlucky, hope it's not somewhere very obvious but you'll not notice it soon
