Hello
I’m new to the hobby and just bought 60 gallon cube tank. When I was looking at it I didn’t see any problems with the silicone or notice any major damage to the glass but it was dirty, when I got it home and cleaned it I noticed a tiny bullseye crack on the side panel that’s about half way up from what I’ve read it wouldn’t be worth I to try and use it because it could rupture. My question is would it be better to drill a bigger hole and put a plug in it or would it lose more stability
Thanks
 
Welcome to R2R.

Unfortunately I don't think drilling and plugging the area would be a fix.

Please post an image of the crack so we can see exactly what's happening.

Post an image.

Never try to fix an aquarium unless glass is your profession.

Sorry you have to experience buying pre-owned tanks this way.
