That sounds like fun nonetheless!! I might try that on a scrap piece of glass just for fun!

I can scribe and break glass no problem, I've done that several times. I was trying to figure out how I could do it with the tank together, but I don't think I could get smooth enough movements to break it nicely.

The glass on a 20 gallon is 3/8" I believe. I wish I had one of those handheld water saws, but I just have a small table saw style. I will try to use it, but I'm worried about it binding as I'm pushing the tank along.

Glass always makes me nervous. I received 33 stitches from a chainsaw 10 years ago, and have been leary of things that cut ever since. No idea why I became a carpenter after that!
