Small crack after drilling

[djbetterly]

I had a left over 29g tank I want to use for a fuge. I drilled it today and later noticed a small crack between the hole and the top of the tank. Could this cause an issue? Or could I silicone the heck out of it? Thoughts? This is my first time drilling of course.

Personally I would get a new one at the $1 per gallon sale at Petco, but if you are in a hurry Iyou can look used. I wouldn't use that tank in my basement.

Yeah, I'd agree. Once you add the weight of water, you'll end up at best leaking and at worst calling service master and the mortician!

Add water and crack spreads.

The sound is more like a snap, and then a pop. And you start to [emoji22]

Ha! Well it's up for grabs now!

Man....no dollar gallon sale going on right now. Guess the fuge plans are scrapped for the moment.

Check craigslist or hit flea bay. Or the real flea market. You've got options, get resourceful!
