I have 2 10 gallon tanks that have cracked. I'm trying to figure out something I could do with them, but I've got nothing.

They can't hold water, and I'm not looking for another pet. Thoughts?

A scape of some plants like ferns and bonsai trees to make a cool, mini jungle.

Years ago we bad a tank like that that cracked and I bought some black silicon like rubber substance that was supposed to be safe when set and it worked and the tank never leaked and fish were fine in it.
I'm sure similar newer technology versions are out there now if you think something like that would work if you want to salvage them. Otherwise like said a terrarium or planter type thing would make them useful again.

Fairy lights!
This tank actually holds water and was made by a friend of mine but I decided to put fairy lights in it instead of live aquatic plants :laugh:
