Cracked tank

[hsm6kids]

Hello everyone,
I am new (obviously ) I was given a 35 gl. Hexagon tank the other day that I had planned on turning into a vivarium for frogs (still not sure what species yet), On the way home a very impatient person pulled out in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes.....long story short the tank slid into the back of the seat and cracked......I am so bummed......but then I was thinking that I was planning on using the GE silicone and great stuff to make the background, won't the silicone seal it and the great stuff hide the crack.....do you think this will work or is my tank trash


Side note......the crack is actually 3 cracks along the back lower half of one of the hexagon panels.

This may sound like a dumb question, but i am doing this with my kids and I want to make sure it works and that they are not disappointed in the end. I am pretty sure it will work but just wondering if anyone has done something similar and had success with it.


thanks in advance
Tracy

You should be able to seal it with a whole whack of silicone, I'd think. Just make sure you're thorough, and make sure to test thoroughly for leaks before beginning construction. I'd suggest replacing the panel, but it's a bit more work.
