sorry in advance if in wrong section... I have i believe 125 gallon tank or thats what i was told anyways it has a crack on the front it was a tank break down and was not leaking. The glass thickness im thinking is 3/8 and its only the front sheet of glass at the joint not affecting the end glass. would it be fixable at least for the time being if i took another piece of glass a little bigger then the crack and seal it onto it?? any ideas or suggestions thanks

dnt trust it mate. if yu love the tank then use it as a reptile tank.
BUT iv never tryed this but it works on plastics..... drill a hole at the end of each crack so the crack cannot travel any further. then patch it up... thats 1 option but i dont think you shud do it to be honest.
id just get a new tank bro

mase
 
I would take a piece of glass that over shadows the crack by 6 inches each way and use a serious amount of silicone and patch over it then I would do the same on the exterior of the tank and then make sure to put a lot of silicone along the corner edge and it will probably hold. I might even go so far as to put some corner molding on that one corner and silicone it on.

The worst that can happen is you get some water on the floor when and if it pops. I fixed a used tank that had a ding much the same as that except it was on the back of the tank. Have had no issue with it.

Another way you can fix it is to put a full patch over the entire side that would for sure fix the issue no probs.

Good score
 
yeah it worries me on the seem blowing out
