As I said you will have to fix it (replace glass plates) or get a different tank all together.

replacing one pannel is pretty strait forward. it is especialy good if it is a back pannel as you can drill it while your at it if you are looking to do a sump system. Like Bill mentione a thin gutar string wraped around two wooden dowels for handles.. then just a sawing motion will make quick work of it. remove all the excess silicone you can first though.

what I would do is if you can get it out with out breaking it anymore then just take it to a glass shop and ask them to make one the exact same size and add any holes you want. this way you don't pay for broken pieces. if you take your own glass in and it breakes to bad so sad you need to buy more.

sometimes you can find a used tank for the cost of the glass to repair the old one.
