I was just offered a 20g aquarium for free. Which sustained a crack while it was being moved around. It was bumped into a book shelf and one of the corner panes got a small crack. The owner says it doesn't go all the way through the glass and they cannot feel the crack inside of the aquarium or outside. I was wondering if it would still be safe to use this aquarium for fish? I havent seen a picture or looked at it yet but it was described to me as a 1inch line in the glass from bumping the bookshelf. They have some other equipment they said I could have also I'm just wondering if its worth taking the tank. I picked up another 20g the other day that is way to scratched for me to want to use. So I'm looking for a replacement for it.
20G Aquarium with Cracked Corner?
- Thread starter dtd87
- Start date
Of course, I just don't want to rush home and start setting it up. I was wondering if anyone else has used a tank in similar condition or what other people would do about it.
At the cost of a new 20g tank (especially when $1/gal sales happen), I wouldn't use it as an aquarium. It depends on how easily you could tolerate 20g of water on the floor.
YEah I ended up grabbing it and it was not usable. I did however manage to get a free aquaclear 70/fluval 70 HOB and a Cascade 150w heater. So I have some equipment at least. I haven't found a 20g High on sale for the 1.00/g sale. Only 20g longs around me.

You can patch it by coating like "Pond Pro 2000" which will be proved best solution for that crack. If you have photo of that aquarium then please post it so that i can give you a good advise. Thanks
