That is definately a bummer, yes the glass should be replaced, but if it is a really old tank i would advise a new one. How big was the tank? Maybe there are a few fellow reefers who could take care of your livestock in the west end area, I would but I am way the heck out in Chilliwack. Good luck...

Try not to stress out. Get a large Rubbermaid container, the sooner the better, place your rock and corals in it with a powerhead and heater and rig your light overhead.You can keep them like this for a long period of time. This will give you time to deal with getting another tank when you have time.

crack
the crack could have been caused by no support under the glass-it may be possable to silicone another piece of glass on the inside bottom with a new hole cut out-as it is i don't think it was from your drain as your bulkhead already fit through the hole

For your piece of mind & due to lack of time, probably better off buying a brand new tank. It's a PITA to cut out & properly reseal a new sheet of glass into a broken tank, especially on the bottom pane.

Thanks for the info everyone
I was hoping to wake up this morning with a clear idea of what I was wanting to do. Sadly, just as frustrated as when I tried to go to sleep last night. I keep coming back to the same thought that I really don't have the time to do this properly. I have a couple of different jobs I do and a great many projects related to them that keep me active. But I was really happy with the tank for the last couple of days and I could see how in 6 months when everything settled into the new tank and new lights that things would have been stunning! I had no intention of leaving the hobby a couple of days ago or even one second before this happened. But now, again, I think I don't have the time and I should just move on. I got powerheads and heat on before going to bed. Today I will be setting up my old tank again but the stand no longer fits it so the tank will be one the floor. Things will be okay. If i am to get out I will be listing things for sale later today and hope to wrap it all up as soon as possible.
