oops!

Well, my 10gallon is busted

It seems that dog bones being kicked by younger siblings finally has brought an end to my tank.

It put a crack in the front of it.

Is there anyway to fix a crack/hole?

 

Walmart has 10 gallon tanks (just the tank, no equipment) for $9. You'd be better off getting a new one. Other than replacing that pane of glass, there's no good way to fix a crack.

Are your fish okay?

My fish are fine. It was were i had my piranha. Its in the 20 gallon now, and my other fish are in the 65 that my goldfish usual live in during the winter

 

[-X piranhas cant be kept in such a small tank! [-X

anyways you can get crack sealent somewhere like bigalsonline.com or at a lfs.

 

I wouldn't trust a crack sealer. Even if you can stop the leak, that pane of glass is severely weakened and 10 gallons of water is a lot of pressure on a weak piece of glass.

hmm, yeah i guess thats a good point. iv never had a probolem with my tank and cracks. i dont let anyone toutch it and i have it in my room where no one ever goes so it all works out!

 

same ere, mine are kept in my room, all 3, and spares in the shed, my rents dont touch and my boyfriend is knowledgable enough not to break it, so it all works out

 

lol, mine is more of you toutch it and you die. thats why it is 4 years old and iv never had a probolem.

 

It is best just to get a new tank!

 

in all i agree a new tank would be best. just keep the kids away. lol.

 

yep it would be cheaper just to buy a new tank

 

yesterday i looked at the sealent stuff and it says a warning about the glass being weak
