Hello guys, and ladies,

So I picked up a used 180 gallon 6x2x2 sea clear tank today. I got it home and noticed some serious issues with it. it was full of water and not leaking were I got it from checked it over the best I could there. it had tape on the top corner when I removed it I found it has a giant chunk of acrylic miising from the corner it is not separated and I don't think It will ever cause a problem? your thought? next I filled it in my truck to give it a water text and clean some of the grud of the inside I notice the back left corner of the tank is cracked on the front the side, and the bottom the crack goes all the way around is hard to take picks of the tank does not leak there thow or any were else. my question is will the top were it is broke ever effect any thing, and what to do about the the cracks on the bottom area if left alone they will travel and eventualy blow that corner out. can you just fill the crack will acrylic cement, or does it need to be cut out and replaced but not real sure how you would do that sence it is 3 sides affect, or is this tank just junk thanks. I do have Weldon 30 I believe from a recent sump build. thanks

Jeff
