Default Sump tank busted in the middle of the night.

Well I woke up a 4am this morning to a horrible noise, flicked on the lights and found there was NO water in my sump wooohooo . The tank cracked in the back and emptied itself out. Everything in the main tank looks ok although its a little foggy. Now I am not sure what to do. The only way that sump went in was through the top. And I *really* dont want to have to empty the main tank and take it off. I think i'll break the sump and take it out piece by piece. As to how to get another one in, well thats a whole new story. For you Calgary reefers out there it was a 33gal from Golds. Thats 2 (mine and EmilyB's) that broke from there. I wouldn't get one if i were you...I won't be able to fit a 33gal in there again unless i remove the center brace then put it back in. Anyways a good way to start off the long weekend

EDIT: oh yah the tank was only half full and it still busted.
