I cracked the top of my 17 gal acrylic cube today while moving and wondering if it will be fine. i filled it with water and it was fine but worried about long term. I know alot of acrylics this size are rimless. Does this crack really matter?

I would be concerned about the sides of the tank bowing out in the long run. I think the rimless tanks are generally made of thicker acrylic (i.e., I have a 30 gal rimless and it's ⅝" thick). To be on the safe side, I would fix it.

Get some acrylic weldon 16 or other acrylic glue/cement. Super easy cheap fix will be like new.
