Default Tank worth salvaging?

Many thanks guys - It seems way to good a chance to pass up!
The stand is wood, and has a solid base under the tank, so my instinct is
that I may be able to silicon/patch repair it, and it will have enough
support to prevent issues. I needed the advice though!
If it doesnt work, I have a nice big frog or lizard tank...
Thanks again
Lill

Due to the fact that most quality tanks have super-tough glass for
the bottom pane, this isn't usually recomended any more......

but ppl used to tell you to get a sheet of styrofoam that fits inside
the plastic frame under the tank, to provide support. In your case,
this might be helpful....

anything worth doing, is worth doing correctly... Don't patch it up, or
you'll be repeating your steps in short order.... FWIW

Thanks guys - have got a bit further info, apparently it is one of the long
vertical sides which has a break - I will just have to have a look at it and
cost it all out etc...
Thanks for all your advice..

It's still worth salvaging... even if you have to replace 2 panes.. you can
even get the plastic mouldings from All-Glass/Oceanic and others...
