How old? where did you get it? I, personally would be lowering the water level if possible. get a hold of manufacture. You might be able to drain, and silicone a "fishplate" over the crack.

ok i have clamped it and braced the back with a sheet of steel temp fix kinda ugly but my tank is in 1 piece so im not crying. some of my coral are very ****ed as i had to move rocks n drain alot of water to release pressure. i also shattered a bit of my green plating monti that i got from niloc.
