Have a large tank , cylinder, 2,000 gallon, bought it used. I help set it up in the original location. The business went under, they sold it to me as is , when delivered the seal cracked from bottom plate from rest of tank. Any instruction on fixing the tank ? I have built small 50 gallon and bellow tanks and other but no this big. Use to be a sports stars tank.
 
I cant help you as ive only done acrylic work on a small scale but i'd love to see pics of such a monster tank.
 
So my understanding is the bottom seal came lose and the bottom is now off the main cylinder correct? Do you see any other cracks in the main tank piece? Look where it's joined together especially. You would need to sand the edges you are going to reweld and clean them of any old solvent. Then reweld.
