small crack in aquarium

TheGood · 05/14/2007, 06:12 PM

Hi,
I just started setting up my 10G aquarium, after a lot of research. As I was putting the decoration in the aquarium, I noticed a really fine zigzagging line on the glass. So I go over it with my thumb on the outside and I don't feel anything. It barely caught my fingernail when feeling it on the inside. I think it happened when I was rinsing the aquarium in the tub and accidentally bumped it. The crack is near the lower corner (though it doesn't look like it goes all the way down). Do you think it's enough of an issue to put some glue or something on it?

BTW, just to specify, I'm doing a freshwater tank, but I really enjoy saltwater, which is why I'm a member! :-)

Replace the tank, ten gallons may not seem like a lot of water but it sure does spread when its on your floor. Not worth the hassle to risk it at all
