Ok for all you tank builders out there. I have a question, can I replace the back panel on my 180 all glass tank with plywood? It's 1/2 glass and I cracked it trying to get a bulkhead off. Could it be set it in like a new glass panel would be? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
Can my 180 be fixed?

I think what you would want to do is glue the plywood to the existing cracked glass. I think I have seen thefishguy do something similar before though I’m not sure where maybe shoot him a pm. Your other option is to price out a new piece of glass it might be just about as cheap by the time you buy the plywood and the coating to make it waterproof or you also have a few good pieces of glass from your broken tank to do your own plywood tank.
Do you think I could use the existing trim that's on the tank? I know I'll have to take it off to get the glass out, but can I put it back on?
