fixing the cube

[billbobthegreat]

Ok so I have a 36"x36"x30" cube (large footprint) one of the side panels is cracked and I'm having difficulty getting hold of the glass has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix it without replacing? Its cracked from top to bottom but the tank is very well braced its almost unmovable thanks

I've waterproofed a 3/4" plywood piece and siliconed it into place.

How did that go for you sorry its been a while did you remove the broken panel?

I did not remove the broken panel i siliconed all over the cracked panel and placed the new piece on top/inside of the broken one. I let it set for a few days then laid down the interior silicone seam.

I wouldn't do it half ass, buy a new sheet of glass and replace it. If you just silicone a sheet of plywood to it you can't tell me it's gunna hold up for years on end like if u did it the right way
