Like the title says, I was cleaning an older Nuvo Fusion 30 gallon long, and I bumped the corner and heard a crunch. At first, I didn't notice anything, but later I noticed the crack in the corner (pictured below). I filled it with water and it doesn't leak at all, but my worry is that I'll wake up one day to find water all over the floor after the crack expanded. Does anybody have experience with fixing something like this? Can I get it fixed like a chip or crack in a windshield and just get it filled? It's about 1.5" long. I'd hate to just toss such a nice tank. Glass is 8mm thick which seems to be plenty considering the tank is only 13" high.

hi,can you get a couple more pics,i think i see ,crack ,that will run :(
 
You could take it to a glass shop and have them fix it

True, just wondering if they would just want to replace the whole front panel and if that's the case, I'd imagine it would be so expensive that I might as well just buy a new tank.
