So you would need 2 end pieces if glass, some bracing and you have a 1122 gal tank. WOW

This reminds me of a similar situation. My grandfather was a glazer and did office towers. We had huge smoked glass windows in our cabin that were very slightly damaged by a welder.

Since we were building the cabin at the time we made the window openings the size of the glass.

couple questions for ya... Can you have the 2 pieces of 144"x45" laminated together forming a 1" thick sheet? are they too damaged? same question about the 2 144"x40" sheets...
I could pick up or arrange shipping, would abviously compensate you for your troubles...
Just realized you "used to work for" a glass shop...mabey Ill ask mitch at cameron management for laminating ideas...
Let me know!
Cheers!

Kwirky - If there were some way to convince my wife of the 12 foot, I would too.....hmmmm, is it worth being single again? I wonder.......nah.

Kevin - 1122 beats my 100 gallon hands down.

Underworld Aquatics -technically speaking anything is possible but if memory serves me there is no glass company in North America that can laminate glass that large. Again, I would have to measure the exact measurements as the pieces may vary by 1/4" or so. As far as the damage, it seemed extremely minor to me at the time; in fact I really had to look hard to find it. But when a new store goes in, the owners go over everything with a fine tooth comb. In saying that my definition of not too bad for a deck railing and a 12 foot display tank differs. To each their own therefore I would suggest coming by and taking a look first.

UPDATE
I have all 5 pieces spoken for at this point (two different people, you know who you are). If for some reason they aren't picked up I will send another update.
Thanks to all who responded so quickly!

Once they are picked up, I sure would love to get some updates (pictures) of the monster tank builds. I know I'm going to kick myself once I see water in them. Probably the stupidest move of all time, but oh well.
