I picked up an acrylic tank cheap online yesterday (see pic). It's 6 foot x 12 inches x 12 inches. When I went to fill it the front maybe 6 inches at the seam leaks. What would be the best way to fix it? Is it worth fixing? I'd prefer to fix it, but if it's too expensive, too much work to save I'd rather not bother with it. I've never really used acrylic tanks before.

weld-on should work, make sure clean and use the filler, not the glue.

Those dimensions are very unusual looks to be some sort of holding tank for corals or something a long those lines. God I would love to have that tank for a grow out and or sump!

How cheap did you get it? Acrylic is super easy to seal look up King of DIY aka Joey on youtube. He shows you how to join acrylic together. Super easy.
