Hole in 40b sump

[jgraz]

So first of all my bad for now testing beforehand. It was stupid but I forgot.
And then I paid for it.
While testing system for leaks I sure found one. It's a a literal hole in the bottom corner. It looks huge in the pic of course. I'd say touch under 1/4".
Can I just fill this with silicone and call it good? Its gonna suck to have to pull these baffles and redo this thing.
What say the community?

With the spidering of the glass, I would not silicone and move on. That is a nasty flood waiting to happen.

No Way! I would not trust a hole fixed with silicone. Replace it. The cost of a 40 breeder and the confidence in its integrity will be something that you will be glad you did. Why run the risk of a catastrophic failure...

Agreed

Thanks everyone. Looks like replacement is in order.

Baffles removed.
Petco is doing the cool thing and replacing for me. Even though I dont have the receipt.
