    I was moving my sump and cracked the glasS beside the drill hole. It's about 6 inch long going diagnol it's not leaking yet. I thought about draining it and putting silicone on both sides. The sump is usually only half full. Do u think this will work or should I just go get another one and start over.

    You can try it. I would silicone a pane of glass over the damaged pane for security. Then I would hit the Petco $ per gallon sale and replace it.
