I did a thorough cleaning yesterday of an old 20 long that I was going to get new fish for, and I left it out overnight in my driveway propped up against a fence to dry. When I came home from work today, the tank was still in the same place, but with a crack going from about halfway up the corner to the base of the tank. If it had fallen and cracked, then it would have been completely on the ground. I think it was the neighbor kid, cause he frequently comes to play with our basketball hoop without permission. Maybe he thought I wouldn't notice?

Is there any way I can fix this? I was going to reseal the whole thing anyway, so I don't mind doing repairs, but I don't want to go to the trouble if it's not going to work. I do think the glass is cracked all the way through, but nothing has actually fallen out.

Thanks ahead of time.

You'd have to replace that pane of glass.
Here's a good article on How to Reseal Your Glass Aquarium.

a 20 gallon tank itself isnt really that expensive, if you alrady have all the trimmings....

when i shattered mine, i replaced the tank only for $10.99 (on sale @ petsmart)

Psh I'd make the obnoxious little kid pay for the tank!! lol.

I would but for that darn burden of proof.

This tank/glass box is now for sale/trade/whatever else in the buy/sell/trade section.

Edit: It won't hold fish, though. It'd have to be for some other kind of pet.
