Have a custom 160 gallon glass cyliner aquarium and I got home today and a magical crack appeared i genuinely have no idea it got there, wasnt there lasnight and nobody was home and when i got home i saw it…its at the bottom. I really want to do almost anything to make it usable since I'll likely never come across another one. Is it SAFELY repairable or is it a terrarium now?

Unfortunately that is likely done for
She’s a ticking time bomb đŁ my advice would be to consult a glazier
R.I.P. and such a beautiful tank. I’m really sorry for your loss.
Will make a super sick terrarium. Such a tragedy tho.
Glass blowers can fix cracked bongs if they can fit them in their kilns. A bong holds less than a liter of water and won’t destroy the interior of a building when they fail.
I just saw this listed on marketplace haha
Wonder if windshield shops could patch it?
Drill it, flip it, call it a hose slot
I would contact a professional, but it doesnât look great
Glass worky guy here.
How thick is the glass?
Yes if you follow these simple steps:
First contact your home insurance and ensure you have flood coverage. Then, gently blow torch the full circumference of the exterior for 5-7 minutes. Finally, fill the bottom with 2 inches of blue epoxy resin. Allow to fully cure.
That blows I wouldnât use it as an aquarium anymore.. but a terrarium? This thing would still be dope
THIS IS A TRAGEDY… it absolutely can’t hold water now, but it’ll make a sick terrarium.
Terrarium now. That’s a beauty
Itâll make a nice terrarium.
Looks like you got money. You still have the stand. Just have a custom cylinder made from a (local ideally) glass manufacturer
