I can't believe this worked. My wife brought home an aquarium... with a cracked bottom (all the way though, and all the way across... and we
managed to fix it by glueing plastic to both sides with silicone glue.

I would have thrown the stupid thing away...

Wait at least a week before filling and populating it with fish... Acetic acid (released by the curing of silicone sealant) is not good for them.

Good advice, will do that. All this because of those darn goldfish that
Jacob won at the school faire. NO MORE ANIMALS! (;

*blink* I wasn't aware of that. In fact, I'd been told the opposite (not
to worry about silicone sealants), but that explains the mass extinction I had last time I made a minor repair to my main tank.

Hmm. I'd chalked it up to the Kid putting something into the tank that shouldn't have gone in there.

I hear those 3 words a lot. Not that they go very far. My house is a small zoo, constantly expanding, and I love it.
