Agreed with the advice given.

Get a new tank.

ditto here as well, my original 58g oceanic busted at a seam, had it repaired and it's held up really well but it was nearly $300 to have it fixed so I'd say time for new also, plus a good professional repair job normally takes 1-2 weeks anyway

Man, I can't count the tanks I have repaired and that are still in use with absolutley no problems what so ever. Its not that freaking hard! You just have to take you time and do it right the first time.

Even though its only a 10 gallon like you said its 85 bucks verses maybe 15 and some of your time.

But I like Reefguru's answer better, "natures way of telling you to get a bigger tank"

If they were in Chicago I would most likely take you up on that 125..

Really guys it isn't that hard to fix them and when done they can look like they just came out of the factory. All you have to do is take you time to make sure you clean all or the old silicone off the mating surface's and it will never leak.

dont repair.. replace.. the broken glass can broke again now that is damaged..

remove it and replace with a new one of the same thickness..

or.. buy a bigger tank
