ya know i was thinking about moving my sump as well, I wanted to re arrange the equipment, but after seeing that. I think i am going to stay put.

I have some pieces of glass here if you were thinking of patching it.

Might take you up on that, thanks man - I'll make some calls in the morning and see what I'm up against. It might be better to pull it out and replace the panel anyhow just on account then I can replace the styrofoam it's sitting on too, it's gotten a bit cracked and squished in places. On a totally unrelated note you should see what happens to styrofoam and a concrete floor paint if you happen to spill almost an entire PVC primer can. But we'll see. If it's gonna take a long time to procure a new panel or if it's too spendy then a-patchin' I will go.

Tony if I recall that sump tank is very large and ALSO made of very thin glass right? Shoot that sucks. I had to stare at the pic a few moments before I clued into what had happened. Brutal man but I'd replace the panel to be safe.
