You could take out the bottom bit of glass and replace with a new bit and then silicone the new bit in. Easy enough to do...

Otherwise you could silicone the crack which would stop any sharp edges doing damage and make it watertight again.

Hi
You could replace the bottom piece of glass but is a slight chance of breaking or cracking more if not careful.
Best option would just be to put some silicone over the crack.
Should be fine.
Just leave it for 24 hours and give it a good wash afterwards.
Ive replaced glass before but the tanks are never quite the same.
Byyeeee

i've got a tank as well with a crack in the bottom. At the minute it's got a baby royal in but when he moves out i'm considering siliconing a sheet of plexi glass over the base of the tank.
