no dont have any fish in there.....im was just puting it together that when dumass super man me over tight that ****t.....how can i fix that? thanks
There's this glue stuff you can use to seal it. I'm not sure what it's called at all because I've never had to use it but I'm sure if you explain your situation to someone at wherever you got they'll be able to help you.
In fact, scratch Home Depot, go to a Fish shop in your area. Most of the shops I know actually make tanks themselves and even if they don't should know how to seal it anyway. I've heard it can take time but it really depends on where exactly the crack is on the tank.
Just lower the water so it doesn't leak and look for some help for that ASAP.

man this leak is inside the overflow box ( bottom glass) the tank is 30" height i was think can i just silicon the seal to the glass? man this's so fck up brand new tank not even one fish in it yet and now is crack .....
I would be cautious, silicone may seal the leak but i doubt will do anything for the structural integrity of that panel. With the pressure the water will create, that crack will most likely conitinue to grow. Good luck!
i agree with islander, especially on the bottom of the tank. just putting silicone over may not be good enough. you may have to silicone a piece of glass over the crack to make sure it doesnt expand. could you post some pics of the damage?
Also, keep in mind that depending on the size of the tank, replacing the panel may not cost too much. The process isn't overly difficult.
i tried to take a pic but the crack wont show on the pic......the way that i feel it with my finger nails the crack isnt that deep .its a 1"buckhead so i dont know how big is the hole.the crack not yet touch the wall of the overflow i would say about 3/4 to 1in long from the circle out....help me guys whats should i do....
do all glass sale the replacing panel for 210gallon? wait replacing the panel that mean the whole bottom glass?
