Looking at a tank locally to me with a crack in the back sump wall. Descriptions are in the pictures from the seller.
My concerns are the crack obviously, can it be re done to do a cleaner job? Structural integrity concern’s me.

Thanks

NOt a problem but i wouldnt be paying anywhere near that figure. You could very easily remove that pane and put a new acrylic pane in there. As the seller said if pressure both side it wont/shouldnt blow out.. get it cheapere and replace the pane

no just measure it up and go to any lazer cutter sign shop..use 5mm black and you will be sweet..he will even cut holes for the returns and put a weir in for you.

with the weir get him to cut a small piece that will cover it and overlap a bit. then you can buy 2 nylon bolts and nuts and make the weir adjustable to set your water height.
