Split in plastic trim. How do I fix it?

[Wulfonce]

This is my 90gal tank. There's a split in the top piece of plastic trim. The previous owner never bothered to fix it and from what I can tell ran it successfully for many years without problems. Will this affect the overall strength of the tank and how do I go about fixing it?

I would like to try and stay clear of the "lessons learned" portion of the forum.

Had some issues with photobucket earlier. Its all sorted out now.


Anyway here's the 90gal tank and stand

Here we can see the crack in the plastic

This ones a little blurry but you can see that the crack goes all the way down.

Is this a big problem, if so how do I fix it. As I said in my first post from what I can tell the previous owner ran the tank for many years without problems.

I myself, wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as the horiziontal supports are still connected, you should be good. If you are still worried about it, go to the hardware store and pick up some plastic epoxy/glue. Drain 1/2 to 3/4s of the water out of the tank and then glue it. Let it sit, then fill.

The 125 I have has about four cracks in the frame around it. Seems to hold just fine.

Maybe I'll just leave it alone then.
