    Well, the bottom corner of my 60 gallon broke in the process of moving. My question is, is it possible to just replace the bottom pane? If so, does anybody know a good place to get glass in the Des Moines area? I don't want to ditch this tank! :/

    Hey Clay, I'm not from your area but I've had great luck with Auto Glass/Safelite up here in the Waterloo area.
    Bummer to hear about your tank, good luck!

    Anybody else have ideas? If I can't get it to work, where can I take the glass to get rid of it?

    Also to repair it you pretty much have to tear it 100% down and redo it. You can buy new plastic rims also

    Hey thanks, Bud! That's right in my neck of the woods, I'm gonna have to check them out. The tank is already torn down completely, been riding in the back of my blazer for almost the last month! HA!
