Default Fixing Up Old Aquarium

My question is this: I bought an old aquarium and there is no black strip (plastic at the bottom) it is just an exposed edge and it has some glass chipping. This is a problem as I have already cut myself and torn my pants. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? A sealant or something?

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks,
Dan

a strip of well applied black electrical/duct tape should do the trick. might not look the best tho

I would just make a frame out of 1 inch strips. It would be very simple wood work, even if its beyond your wood working skills im sure you know someone that can build it.
