BlueLineAquaticsSC Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 A friend of mine gave me a 110g tote with a 5” crack at the top. Any suggestions on how to fix a rip in one of these. Right now it has all the fish from my 90g in it since I had to take the tank down when redoing my floor.

Which ever you choose, Your first step will be to stabilize the rim with a wood or metal strip under the rim, or the other repairs could fail as the rim flexes.

Pepere Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I would drill a hole at the bottom of the crack before trying any repair. This eliminates a stress riser for the crack to continue to extend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
