Lily,

I have just "fixed" a 4ft tank with a crack in the bottom pane. I cleaned
the area with cleaning solvent & then applied a lot (not very pretty) of
aquarium silicon. It was left to cure for a day & when filled no leaks! (ps
I got the tank free from a pet shop that was just about to chuck in a skip!

Good luck,

Sky

Needing your extensive experience!
I have the chance of getting (free) a 4ft tank and stand.
Problem is, tank has a crack on the bottom panel.
My question is - is it worth the trouble to see if it can be fixed? 4ft
tank means a helluva lot of water pressure/weight for this tank to deal
with - should I forget about it? My understanding is that it is a
plastic-framed glass tank - would it be a matter of replacing base panel,
or
is it still going to be too dodgy?
Cheers
Lill
