Default Eb0la11's 165G Reef Tank Build

Hey guys,

ok so I have been around asking tons of questions over the last 3 months and finally have collected almost all of the hardware to begin setting up my tank. I've got a 165G six foot tank built from Bow Valley Aquatics and am very pleased.

I have used a 30G tank I had laying around to build a sump and I am now beginning the setup. Here are some pictures:

Cracked Sump!!!


So I was cutting the board for the bottom of my tank so I had a nice level space to put the sump, QT tank etc and the above shot shows what happened as I slid the sump from one side under the tank to the other and hit one of the braces idiotically...

Sooooo, I'm thinking of just leaving it in there cracked and buying a new glass pane that is cut to size of the inside dimensions and I'll silicone it inside of the sump. I'll lose 1/8" or so but it should be ok. Is this a plausible solution?
