Hi everyone while cleaining my new tank i drop a screw driven in my tank and bottom surface in the center there s a 4 inc crack in length.

If i apply silicon all over the cracked area together wit it another glass on top of the cracked will it work????

i wud advise that u chg the tank altogether lah... Its a new one rite, so no livestks to wori abt ...

[mohank]

so do you think by applying silicon with a glas on top will work???

[Qxnviolet]

yeah, i agree...no point taking the risk of flooding your hse and killing all your Ls in the process. Get a replacement.

hi there bro mohank,

i do think that the crack can be sealed with another panel of glass sealed with silicon over the cracked area, plus some silicon on the actual crack itself, but as the other bros have mentioned, perhaps it might just be better to change the entire tank. you can take the tank to a tank maker and ask if they can change the bottom glass pane for you. they should be able to remove the silicon to dislodge the cracked panel, and then redo the tank with a new bottom panel.

cheers,

ian

Cost of new fish tank: $2000

Cost of labour to move tank in your house: $200

Cost of not replacing your tank, and waking up one day to find your whole room wet with salt water: Priceless.

For everything else, there is SRC.

*Rough price given for new tank as I do not know your tank size.
