Bump for a great deal if repairable.
Is it a straight crack or diagonal. I would think with a straight crack you could put a straight strip of glass across it with a very generous silicone bead and have no problems. Would cover with a sand bed

you could do that if it didnt stem from the overflow holes..

That does make it tougher for sure. I can say though when I bought my tank used it had corner overflow that was beat up and needed some tlc. I cut it out a caulked a piece of glass over the existing hole and then just re drilled my own hole and built my new overflow the way I wanted.
Not trying to hijack to trying to help with the sale.

haha i know and i appreciate it but there is no way to save this one. the holes have cracks steming all around them and the glass is even starting to chip in this area.

$100 is a great deal. Wouldn't take much to replace the bottom panel.

If I had the room you'd have your new tank already. Lol.
I just built my new tank last night on my kitchen table. Now I'm just waiting on my stand
