I have a 45 gallon corner tank that is drilled for a sump system. We have spent quite some time putting this thing together and now there seems to be a crack between the two holes in the tank. There was a slight chip in one of the holes prior to installing the bulkheads, and I'm assuming my hubby may have accidentally over tightened the bulkhead and that chip spread, or maybe when I added cold water to test the new pump....
ANYWAYS....
The crack is maybe 1.5"-2" long. I have aquarium silicone and a (approximately) 3"x20" piece of plexiglass. Could I smother the two surfaces with silicone and cover the crack with the plexiglass (which we would then also drill through and reinstall the bulkheads.
Terrible idea? Anyone ever done a repair like this? I've seen repairs done like this with glass on glass, but....?
Any advice is appreciated?
