cracked tank

[Ross]

I got my tank drilled and it has developed 2 cracks. The crackes are going into the sides...not out into the tank. Is there anyway to fix it? The tank has water in it.

Ouch....sorry to hear it. I honestly do not believe there is a way to fix the glass. Perhaps one of those windshield repair places could help you if they arent too big? I'm not too familiar with glass repairs.
HOPE EVERYTHING IS OK!!!

YIKES! Cracks are never good no matter what direction they're going. Theres no real good way to repair cracks,,,,, sounds like to me, the tank is ruined,,,, Dont risk it. sorry.

Ok guys

Thats what i was afraid of. I guess i will turn my 30g qt into my reef. I will get a mh and be able to keep lots of sps at least.

You had better brace it with some reinforcing and duct tape right now and plan on getting the water out of it immediately. Unless, of course you want an experience like I had and wake up in the middle of the night to running water sounds. Its cool in a way - sounds like Niagra Falls. You always wanted to visit there, didn't you? You may have the effect right in your own home.

That is not a pleasant sound...

Once, I thought i heard the bathtub running at full speed, it was several moments later that I realized the pipe from my overflow had come off and the sound was gallons of water splashing down onto the carpet :(

as far as repairing it you screwed man. you could try and brace it by sticking plexi glass and silicone along the crack

The first thing you do is go out and buy as many Rubbermaid Garbage cans as you feel you need. Then get everything out of that tank then go get a replacement tank and set it up. Sorry no way around it.
