Uncles 300G tank has a crack
Well, on his 300G tank he just got, a fall caused a corner to have a 3 inch crack. The corner is the end of the tank with the overflow and cant be felt on either side. Im wondering if you think it is safe?

Definitely NOT safe. However, there are ways to fix it w/o trashing the whole tank. I've seen replacement panes epoxied on top of the cracked pane to regain structural stability on a damaged tank with much success.
