Problem with Plexiglass Tank...
I'm so pleased
That may be one Goldfish that will be saved from a slow death in an
undersized tank.

Hello,
I purchased a 2.5 Gallon Plexi tank for my 10 year old from Petco back in
the
winter. When it arrived, it had a crack in the tank. (Tank is 1 piece
molded
hexi) So I called Petco and they gladly replaced that tank.
All of this was unknown to my daughter as I was saving it for her May
Birthday.
So the replacement tank arrives and rather than open it and check it like
a
thinking person would have done, I put the box away in my closet to await
her
birthday.
May rolled around but at this point we were thinking we were selling our
house
and moving so it didn't make sense to take out the tank and set it up
knowing
we were about to move... (See where this is going?)
Well today I finally took the tank out and lo and behold... about a 2
inch
crack in one of the sides of the tank. Obviously it is too late for me to
try
to get Petco to replace yet another tank. I botched that when I didn't
check
it to begin with. LOL
Soooo After all that, here is my question. Can I use a product called
'All
Glass' Aquarium Sealent to try to patch that crack? I can arrange the
tank so
that it won't show by putting the patch in the back where the filter and
so
forth are, but I'm concerned that a product called 'All Glass' is called
that
for a reason. If I can't use that, do any of you have any suggestions as
to
which sealent would be best?
Sorry for this huge rambling post. 
Thank you in advance,
Julie
