Hi,
I just discovered a crack between my two bulkheads when looking in my overflow box. It's not leaking, how big of an issue is this? DO I need a new tank? It is a 45 gal tank 24x24x18. The glass is 3/8" thick.
First off if this is my tank I would be very nervous.
The amount of pressure on the crack will vary based on the water depth in the tank. I.E. Near the top is less, at the bottom is more.
I would think that it is just a matter of time before it gives. Another way to look at it is how much will a new tank cost vs. how much will 40 gallons of water damage and livestock loss cost?
