empty tank...what to do?

[James913]

After the passing of our Leopad Gecko, we now have an empty tank. Was thinking of going Darts, until after emptying the tank out I remembered why it was free. The Bottom Glass is cracked from heat of a UTH the the previous owner installed. It is an Oceanic Systems tank, approx 30 gallons, it is predrilled on the back and sides for ventilation, had lots of thoughts of using the drilled holes for bulkheads and running a small external canister filter I found. Just was wondering if the great minds here think if I place plexi over the full bottom area and silicone it in, will this be strong enough? Will post pics of the tank as soon as I can.

there is really no good way to adhere plexi to glass. definitely won't get it water-tight. i would just get a piece of glass cut at your local glazier & silicon that in. glass can often be cheaper than plexi as well-
