Cracked tank advice

[RockD2]

I just knocked the corner of my tank with a glass measuring cup and put a crack in it above the waterline. No legs looks clean. Any advice on how to glue or seal it would be much appreciated. It’s above the waterline and isolated to the corner.
Fijicube 48 gallon. Barely a year old. Am I just asking for a blow out if I keep it or should I just buy the bullet and get a new tank.

besides the look i wouldent say this causes any structual issue since the crack starts and stops completley above the water line.

I would just crazy glue it for now. If you’re not having any problems with leaking.. and then in the future, you can bite the bullet and get a new one.

i used the crazy glue with baking powder method ,
besides seeing a white line the bond is quite aggressive

That sucks, but at least it's above the water line! Could have been a lot worse!

Thanks, I was thinking about trying automotive glue for fixing windshield cracks. Has anyone ever tried that with success?

I looked into it once, but needs to be completely sealed with suction first then the the glue or whatever it is, is injected into the crack. Wouldn't work with a tank set up as its cracked all the way through. Windshields have two layers of glass sandwiched around some type of flexible layer.

I wound up supergluing the cracks that traveled to the top and just put clear packing tape on it to add some extra support. Not the prettiest but seems fine structurally so I’ll just monitor it and pray every day.

Thanks for the input everyone

Perfect excuse to upgrade in my opinion! I might have to "accidentally crack my tank

Sorry man. I would replace immediately as possible. Salt will get inside... dry... and expand causing it to crack fully. I just had the same thing happen. It didn't crack totally open but salt started to make it worse within days. Bulkhead was hand tight!
