How can I repair this?

[Matman1110]

This is my glass canopy cover for my tank. Can i use something to piece this back together?

 

[AquaRick]

I would replace the whole thing with a new piece of glass (pretty cheap from a glass shop) or get a larger piece of acryclic and cut it yourself.

I agree its in pretty bad shape, just replace it.

That's the thing that goes under the light right? I'd say replace it...the glass is pretty rough too..

 

[strokinbyeu]

you can save the hinge and reuse it, iv done that on a few glass tops. mite even be able to cut the handel off and put it on the new glass with some 3m two sided foam tape(find at walmart of a hardware store, or even autozone) its used to hold the badges on your car, like the f-series or the 1500 badges on pickup truck fenders

Because of the nature of the break, you could silicone it back together, but it would not be as good as a new piece of glass.

Duct tape shouldn't be anywhere near an aquarium...IMO........

Really?

You also don't want to use plexiglass. If you use a thin piece, the heat from your light will warp it. If you go too thick, your light will be worthless.

Go to a glass store and get a piece cut is a good idea but probably not the cheapest.

Or, got to a LFS and get a new one. I have many spare parts from replacing glass canopies, never know when you'll need a new hinge since they do wear out.
