Like title says. Love tapped my new 625 sump right on the edge so naturally it decided to crack vs letting me get off free. Any thoughts on repair or does anyone know if Red Sea has replacement sumps?

I wouldn’t worry about it looks small

Can’t tell if you’re trying to troll me or not. Bad reef day. My daughters favorite fish (6 line) jumped even through the net and found it behind the tank.
No I’m not trying to troll you. Sorry about that and all honesty you’re fine it’s just a small crack. There’s not a lot of head pressure in that sump.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve had fish for years with an open top and never really had any jump out, except for one a watchman, Goby

Finally hyped myself up enough to try and replace the glass. Considering it’s a sump and the back panel pushed against the stand I figured it was the best panel to attempt on. Plus if I can build a 1200hp gtr in my garage I can seal a glass panel.
