How to fix a glass panel?

[duke62]

I found a great seahorse tank. Its a octogon tank which would be perfect except 1 panel has a crack. Is it going to be complicated to fix? It has a stand with it as well and i thought i always wanted a seahorse tank and this would be perfect. Anyone know someone that would be able to fix it for me out here on LI. The tank looks great,the seems are well siliconed as well

You need to cut off this piece, remove all silicone from the pieces on the sides and bottom, order new one (exact same dimensions) and glue it back

can i do it without removing the braces or does the brace need to come off as well?

Braces need to come off as well and the silicone will have to be removed from those surfaces as well in order to get a proper seal when you replace that one panel.

HMMM looks like a hard project. I just looked and it doesnt seem like the top of the brace was siliconed so im wondering how its held in place unless there is a small bead somewhere i didnt see
