Our 240 gallon acrylic that we got today has a crack. Please let me know if thus is fixable.

My acrylic 240 had a similar crack in the same place and was patched before I bought it. Had it for 3 years and no problems yet

Youll need to get a patch of acrylic thats flat, then use weld on to cover the entire crack as evenly as possible

Weld on acrylic cement. Put it in a syringe and let it flow into the crack. Totally fixable since its not really taking water pressure. The weldon should flow totally into the crack, soften the acrylic, and when it evaporates, if done right, it will be one piece of acrylic again.
