Walked with my mum through ice-rink conditions this morning to get to my sister's place and gave an old laptop and some games to my nephew, walked back through slightly less slippery conditions a couple of hours later, opened presents, ate dinner, reunited someone with a mobile phone that I'd found lying in the street on the way to my sister's place and examined a leaking aquarium and diagnosed it with a cracked bottom panel.
for good citizenship! It seems you are always returning lost dogs, now you're returning lost phones.
I wouldn't want someone's Christmas to be spoiled. The owner was glad to have it back and gave me a chocolate orange and a couple of bottles of beer when she came to collect it. She also swore that the pint glass that had been lying near the phone wasn't hers.

1.) Is the leaking aquarium yours?
2.) Is it fixable? 
Yes, it's mine. It sprang a leak a couple of days ago and I'd drained most of the water from it to relieve the pressure and stop the leak, but it was only tonight that I had the time to remove the sand, critters and plants and look at it more closely. It's quite a bad crack, running diagonally from one corner to the other, but I'll cut a couple of sheets of acrylic and bond them to both sides of the glass with silicone sealant, and it should be fine after that. I've used acrylic sheet with silicone sealant before to fix a smaller crack in a different tank and to modify tanks, and it forms a very strong, watertight bond with glass.
