About 3am many years ago I had a 20 gallon bedroom tank burst. Hearing a lovely creek noise in my bedroom was nice until I woke up enough to realize what was happening. There was still a couple inches of water left and as I recall I didn't lose any fish but what a nightmare. . . Get some flex tape. It is advertised on TV so it has to work! Lol!
LOL, thanks for the story.
Crack at the top by the bulkhead, there is no pressure imposed on the glass from the water so it will last years still. If it were near the bottom, it is more likely to cause issues, but in my opinion this is nothing that anyone can complain about.
Well said.
Well you got to change the battery’s of coarse 😂 is just drop the water and silcone it after I clean it up for a good seal repair… the bloopers hahaha
They are always the best part.
I have a 55 gallon with a crack in the side I don’t believe I’ll be trusting it to hold water but I did test it and no it don’t leak, my anxiety won’t let me fill it in the living room next to my 65in tv😂😂 so we use that as the back side and it’ll be a gecko terrarium soon
I wouldn't trust this anywhere other than my fish room.
Worst case, and a good repair, drain it past the bulkhead, remove the bulkhead, cut a piece of place glass from top of tank to past the bulkhead. Mark the bulkhead hole, drill out the plexiglass, slap the plexiglass on it with some aquarium safe silicone. Reattach bulkhead, let the silicone cure, refill the tank, carry on. Keep up the no nonsense post Michael, we luv ya buddy!!!
that seems like too much work for a $5 tank. or get one free off craigs list. or just don't fill it up more than halfway. use it outside, or keep spare plants, or breed bettas in it...
I haven't seen these tanks for less than $20 anywhere.
Thanks!

condition: good
Free to a good home: 40 gallon (I think) fish tank, Marineland H.O.T. Magnum filter, Marineland LED Lights. Some parts missing, but the tank held water when I drained it a few years ago.
maybe i should ride over there 25 minutes and get it before you do.
I'm guessing it depends...in the basement, yep - just wait and see; sitting on top of brand-new hardwood floors, you bet that puppy is out of here! :-)
Exactly!
If it ain’t leaking have a snack and a beverage then proceed with your plan.
Yup!
Your common sense approach is much appreciated! Thank you
My pleasure!
Psh little silicon on it and she good to go
I don't think that is even needed!
Still married partly because I haven’t had a tank explode yet.
LOL
It probably won’t leak if you don’t disturb that bulk head. You could temporarily drain it to just below the crack and silicone over the cracks……..if you are losing sleep from it.
Does it look like I am losing sleep? LOL
Just say no to crack!! ;)
LOL
Something like that can last years, esp if you slap a little silicone on it. It's not crazy
Yup
omg!! why use a cracked tank?? kidding, yes ive done the same for myself. and your right it depends on the situation, in my case, its my garage where i dont care if that tank bursts. its also just housing snails, so they will actually survive for a bit while out of water. great vid!
They will survive anything!~
Glad to see you didn't turn into a snowflake with the ground shaking....😂
It was so minor. I was in Japan for an 8.7, that was big.
Cool do as you wish with your tank
Excellant response!
The crack has terminated at the drilled hole there is only a very small chance the crack will continue as it has found its lowest stress point…silicon it and get on with life. It’ll be fine
Ive already moved on.
OMGEEEE the horror!!!! 😂
LOL
Just replace the tank Man A tank that size is cheap anyways your livestock is worth more than it is to replace that tank so why risk losing them and you have a responsibility to your animals to keep them safe so come on Michael stop being cheap you make a poop ton of money you should be able to afford to replace a tank come on
How do you know how much money I make?
Ha junk it lmafo or get aquarium silicone glue it it prolong it from cracking more goof ball 😂😂😂😂
You buying?
Lol nope 🤣have to many now 🤣
I mean buying for me silly.
Stop beign cheap and just use aquarium glue
Send it to me.
Never had a cracked tank or a leak...been very lucky
Knock on wood bro!
