Others will give you a much better idea of what to do. I couldn't sleep well without moving it.

A run to WalMart may be in order.

Are you sure it isn't just a scratch on the outside? Can you look at it from an angle and tell roughly how deep it is?

If you can get away with it, I would at least take the water level down to below the crack....if you think it's a crack and not a scratch.

i tried that already that wanted 95 bucks for it,and they were out of sealant.

You could get a 14 gallon plastic tub from Walmart or home depot to put things in until you can remedy the tank situation. Maybe even use a 5 gallon bucket. Throw a powerhead and the heater in there and you should be okay for a few days. Double check if it is really a crack. Could it be a stray piece of silicone?

i tried scrapping it off and it came off , i guess that it was just some extra, silicone so crisis avoided thanks guys

Whew -- I'm glad that's all it was

Reminds me of my new entry door that retailed for 2,000+ custom ordered. It was returned because of all he scratches and cracks in the side panels.
I bought it for $200 on the conditon that the store would load it in my truck.
I cleaned it with some glass cleaner and a paper towel and cant find one flaw.
