Hi,

I got a crack that I noticed recently in my 60 Gallons tank, the crack seems to be on the outside of the glass, I can feel it when touching it, but I can feel water as well with micro drops and salt deposit all around. I took a look from the inside, the silicon looks pretty thick and heavy and doesn't seem to be sliced or damaged. But that thing is pretty scary.

Here are some pics:

I was thinking about buying this waterproof silicon glue at home depot and fix it but I think that won't prevent the crack to get bigger.

Anyone had the same problem before? Do you guys have a solution to repair it?

Thanks so much by advance!
