Help with my acrylic tank

[jhebi]

I was wondering if someone could help on how to fix this. I dont know if is fixable or not, i got from someone without knowing.

See the picture, where the bulkhead is at the bottom, there is a crack on it. Can i fix it? and how? Someone help me becaue I don't know anything.

Thanks

Are there only the two cracks around the empty bulkhead? From the pic it looks like there could be a few more...

If that's the only one, you can get a piece of, I would suggest 1/2" as the minimum, acrylic. Make sure is big enough to cover about 1' in all directions of the crack and using weld-on, affix it to the inside of the tank. For this to work, your going to have to ditch a few of the other holes and support the bottom really well! But if it were me, I would start with a new tank, it would keep me up at night since the other holes are drilled in the bottom so close to the effected are

That's what i was thinking of, just getting a glass tank with the same dimensions. At least the canopy and stand are in good shape.

I talked to the guy and told him that it was cracked, the only he said was REALLY, it wasn't when i sold to you.

Any ways, better safe than sorrow....

drill it bigger for a larger bulkhead

Yeah I'd bale unless you wanted to weld on a new bottom to double the thickness then re-drill all the holes again.

Otherwise it sould be a sump maybe .............or trash.
