I think I could have some real fun with this one. 4 or 5 rolls of duct tape - a large hammer - reread my divorce papers - ...........................

Well, I had a professional look at it. He declined to do it. But he said it was really easy to do. I asked him why he wouldnt fix it and he avoided answering. I figure he doesnt want to be liable for the seams blowing out and ruining my house :)

As I said, I removed the broken pane of glass. It took two days, about 5 hours of work each day and a LOT of razor blades. I still haven't got the silicone off the glass. Removing that silicone so the new silicone can properly seal the new pane of glass in place is, imo, next to impossible.

And apparently everyone else thought the same as I tried to GIVE the tank away after no one would buy it for $100 and I couldn't...

So now, I figure busting the tank up with duct tape sealing it is my best option :)

Well, it seems a terrible waste but.....
Don't forget the gloves and saftey glasses. Duct tape and the blanket sounds like the best idea, but if it is on carpet maybe try to slide a sheet of plywood under it first.

When I attempt it, I will make sure to take some pics ;)

I would suggest ear plugs aswell cause when you hit that glass for the first time if it is tempered the who window will shatter making a huge poping sound!!!
