Habitat - Indoor :: 50 gallon tank.

[rturtle1]

i have a 50 gallon tank but it has a big crack down one side is it safe for a turtle. if i put silicone on the crack will that help? how can i make it turtle safe or fix it.

I dont think its about making it turtle safe. I think its about making it House safe. It could totally leak all over the place. HUGE mess.

^ I agree. The only way to make the tank safe again is to take out the broken panel of glass and replace it. Otherwise, it'll make a good tank for a non-aquatic critter

And with how cheap a standard 55gal can be, it's not worth the time and money to replace the broken panel.

Silicone isn't strong enough to keep the crack from opening under water pressure.

The other comments you've gotten are right. For what you'd have to spend on a new pane of glass you could probably get a good used 55g or a new one.

I wouldn't bother to fix it. Either get a new tank (or used one from one from craigslist, etc.) or consider a stock tank.
