how not to repair a large tank with cracked glass

[wolf_bluejay]

So, his large 12mm glass cracked on the side of the tank, and the "fix" is to silicone (badly) a large peice of 6mm over the crack on the inside?


Think about this for a moment:

1) half the thinkness for a know stress location.
2) he doesn't seem to understand how silcone holds on glass, adding beads doesn't do much
2) the inside?

Remember that the water is pushing out from the inside, imagine 2 2x4's held together by a bit of cardboard and then puch from the 2x4 side. It won't bend much.
Now push from the cardboard side and the whole thing folds up.......

I'd be really, really, really suprised if this thing holds water long enough to get it filled. Yikes!
