kriz2fer Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I would use Weldon. There are different types of Weldon for different uses depending on the crack your dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangman Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 It is a patch that someone glued a piece of acrylic over a old bulkhead hole and the glue came loose and made a big mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterego Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Go to an LFS and buy a bulkhead then go buy a plug that fits in the bulkhead. install the bulkhead and plug and that should solve your issue unless the hole is on the bottom of your sump.

Do that ^^^. but if you do decide to patch it, make sure you put the patch is on the inside of the tank, that way the pressure of the water is helping keep it sealed.

Barelycuda Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Installing a bulk head and plug is probably your best bet and easiest solution IMO. You can go to tap plastics and purchase acrylic cement and another small piece of acrylic and try to glue another one in. Mohaynow is spot on if you want to glue another one in make sure to glue it on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
