Okay, so it's time so either sell this beast or set it up. Before I can do either I need to repair and restore it.
The biggest problem is a big crack in the top bracing. It is all the way through the acrylic (can feel it on the bottom) but there is no space inbetween it. Is this crack structurally significant?
If so, how do I fix it? I was thinking of getting a sheet of acrylic and putting it on bottom and on top and gluing it on. Is this the best way? How thick of acrylic will I want to get? And what do I use to "glue" it together (obviously not silicone?). I've never worked with acrylic.
The acrylic on this tank is 3/4" thick. Tank dimensions are 6'x2.5'x2.5' (72"x30"x30").
