    It's a 45 gallon igloo cooler, and it has a quarter inch hole on the bottom side.
    Is there anything I can use that's safe for the fish to fixed. Thanks

    Honestly I would use aquarium silicone.

    fill the hole....and put some extra on the outside of the container and the inside. to make a plug.,

    Jb weld may work but silicone is flexible...and the cooler walls may expand and contract.

    I would also consider Craigslist. There are a ton of 30 and 55 gallon drums being sold for dirt cheap. Well at least in my location anyway
