I got an aquarium from this guy for free. its approx. 150 Gallons. But it has a crack in the bottom of it. I siliconed both sides, and put support boards in the bottom framing, but it still leaks when it gets about half way full of water. I either have to find a place to repair it or do it myself! PLEASE HELP ME! I REALLY WANNA GET IT UP AND RUNNING!

you might want to try getting a piece of glass cut to fit the bottom of your tank and silicone it into place thereby sealing the new bottom piece to the tank. depending on the height of your tank this piece should be 1/2 inch thick to have an acceptable safety margin.

Is there a way to take the black framing off so the glass piece would fit?

If I were you I'd take Nickiesue's advice she's repaired one with a busted bottom.
Great price on the tank by the way.
