My fluval 13.5g evo cracked in a bad way. I think one of my colleagues bumped the return and cracked it. I caught it early and siliconed the cracks and stopped the leak but I dont think this will work long term. I've already bought a second 13.5g evo to replace it with but I have to drill it overnight at home... do you guys think the silicone will hold overnight? Good news is the plastic divider is holding the glass in place on the inside and not much weight pressure on the back panel of the glass.

I would transfer everything to a tub from Home Depot. That’s a super bad crack. Just wash out the Home Depot bin first. Then take your time with the new tank.

Good news the silicone held over night thankfully. Will be transferring all my livestock into my 17g which sits directly above the fluval.
