Cracked tank?

[sharuq1]

The tank is full of water and vinegar (was getting all the Ca to precipitate on the off chance there is any Cu bound up in it.) I really can't see the bottom at the moment due to the precipitate. However, water is in the tank and not the floor. It could be that the pressure from the water itself could be what is holding it together though?

Anyone know how or where I could get this fixed if it is a crack? oh please oh please don't be a crack...

I agree, if it's a crack you need to replace the pane of glass or replace the tank. Often it's cheaper and easier to just replace the tank.

If the tank was treated with copper, then your biggest worry would be the silicone. The silicone will absorb copper, and there is nothing you can do to get it out. If the silicone has a slight green/teal tinge to it, then it most definately has had copper in it. If the silicone is still clear, that is still not a sure way to say it wasn't treated.
