how to fix cracked aquarium?

I don't know how this happened, I woke up around 3am and found a long crack running from the bottom of the tank to the top (the posterior side of the glass where you put a wallpaper). I was wondering if theres a way to fix that maybe with silicone or something. I rather not buy a whole new one because of money issue and specific measurement problem. question is: is there a way to fix that or seal it up so it doesnt leak any more or is it best to buy a new aquarium tank. thanks

    Buy a new one. Even if you can stop it from leaking with silicone or something, it will never be as strong as it was - and it broke when it was at full strength.

    Scoop your fish out, placed them temporarily in a smaller aquarium, empty the tank, persist with a sealant it incredibly is used to connect the partitions jointly alongside the crack. Reestablish your tank and reintroduce your fish.

    Scoop your fish out, put them temporarily in a smaller aquarium, empty the tank, apply a sealant that is used to glue the walls together along the crack. Reestablish your tank and reintroduce your fish.
