Tank Repair

[SmallFry]

Hi, just thought I'd ask everyone's advice because I've never tried this before..

I might have the opportunity of picking up a damaged tank cheaply (the back panel has broken. Not sure if it's a 75 or a 90gallon. How easy/expensive would it be to fix it myself for my inevitable upgrade? Is it worth doing for the price difference (~$150) between that and a new one?

It seems like it might be too good an opportunity to miss - after all it won't eat or drink in the basement until I need it..

Presumably the silicone is the only thing that holds the panels together.. Any advice on doing the repair would be appreciated also..
