Got to get a new piece of glass the same exact size.

scrape away any old silicone, and I mean COMPLETELY.

reseal with new silicone

ASI aquarium silicone, A lot of cleaning of the sealing surfaces. You must be confident of what you are doing, because a mistake can be costly. Usually for most ppl. better to get a new tank.

If this is a display tank, are the glass the low iron glass? If you get regular glass, it will have a green tint to it. Also, may not want tempered glass because you can't drill tempered glass...it will shatter into a thousand pieces if you drill.

Trash it. Get a new tank. Peace of Mind. Too many horror stories

It seems like a smaller tank, maybe 20-40 gallons, so I reckon it’s worth fixing up yourself

Don't get tempered. Any glass store, just give them the size and tell them not to temper it.

Appreciate everyone that’s responded with advice but unfortunately my buddy’s decided to get out the hobby due to just being overwhelmed and not wanting to buy and deal with the glass I will be posting some of his corals and fish for sale later thanks
