Maybe I will cut a piece of acrylic and drill holes and use Teflon screws to brace it together. Sound like a plan? ....
I have seen that done, but I would drain the tank to make sure the glass was back to it's "unstretched" position be fore doing it. If you can identify the manufacturer, you can also likely remove and replace the entire top trim, but you would also need to drain the tank.
I think that bracing might be critical for a bowfront. You definitely don't want a seam to blow out or a catastrophic crack to form and drain that entire tank on the floor.
Wow. That's ridiculous! Do you know the manufacturer of the tank yet?
Where would it be?
Sometimes they put it on a sticker on the bottom. Or if you get exact measurements you can compare to what various places offer to try to find it.
Internal mag drive 1800.Are you using an external pump for return?
Every hole you drill is a potential leak point. I would have it come out over the top. The only reason I would drill a return is to make space in the sump, and cut down heat in the water, by putting an external pump in play.
I see on some forums people are running them externally. I've never done so myself.
