Ugh! I feel your pane (har har). I broke two tanks this week...luckily just a 10 and a 20.

When cutting the silicone (either to remove the overflow or remove the broken pane) use fine wire and use it like tooth floss down the seam. Cuts real well although you will probably break the wire a few times, so get lots.

Guitar string works really well and less likely to break.

Ya, but they aren't as cheap. I should invest in some good guitar strings though. Har har.

i was thinking about replacing a pane, the tank is only a 55 so its not that expensive to replace the whole tank but its more the work that went into that tank that sucks

i do have an old 55gallon sitting under my deck that i could steal a pane out of but i found a tank i want instead

That 60 is probably a 55 anyway. If it really is a 60 and is 24" tall that would be a pain in the arse for a reef tank. It's only 12" wide...makes rock'scaping really difficult.
