I have a 250 gallon aquarium. The back glass has a pretty severe crack. I know just dealing or “repairing isn’t a good idea.
However, could I insert a custom cut piece of glass directly in front of it? It would become the new stable back panel (removing silicone and reapply like a reseal) but the old panel would stay. Anybody see a reason that wouldn’t work? I just don’t want to handle a large cracked piece of glass like that or disassemble such a big tank. I’m aware silicone won’t properly adhere to old dry silicone so I’ll clean that out like I’m doing a total reseal. Basically just not fully removing the broken panel but adding new panel to the inside.
