Mindy, sounds like its a good thing we are seperated by distance. I ran through the exact same thing, first I cracked my DT, then I broke a bulkhead, then I cracked my sump.
Started buying spare parts because it was just easier. Hopefully the next go around is better. Just keep smiling, remember your having fun!

Well, I'm considering just making my own sump from scratch out of a thicker glass. I will call and get a quote tomorrow. I'm not impressed that I have to do a bunch of plumbing again. Back to square one. Not like any of the inhabitants of the tank seem to notice or care. I'm tired of looking at a tank that is 4" low on water though!

I hear ya! But truly, are you really ever done?!
Mine has been up for about 2 months with my new sump/fuge and already have plans to increase flow and redesign the entire system. I know you've been in it a lot longer, so I thought you'd be used to it by now.

what side was the washer on
 really though, was there a washer on the flange side? some flanges are not flat and have a little plastic ring that sticks up and have been blamed for cracking tanks when no washer is on them

Sounds like an opportunity to make your new sump out of acrylic.
