My advice is get rid of it. Not worth risking it dumping 250 gallons of water plus the water in the sump in your home.
The damage will far exceed the cost of buying a new tank.
Good luck.

sell as a reptile enclosure

My worth it. Unless you replace the front pane

Unfortunately having it fixed will be 1/2 the price of a new one and DIY is still expensive and a lot of work.

Throw it away....scary with 250 gallon of water. It won't hold long.

If the cracked pane of glass doesn’t need to be starfire, you can search around and find 1/2” glass for probably under $300. You’ll need silicone and I highly recommend the BRS aquarium silicone, it holds really really well. The trick is getting it apart. If the tank is more than 5 years old or has been left dry in the sun for any appreciable tome I would strongly consider breaking down every joint. Otherwise you could just replace the one pane which will be a lot less work but you do have to remove 100% of the existing silicone and everything and make it clean as a babies ass.

If you redo the entire tank, you’ll need a sufficient workspace and work surface that is dead flat and sturdy and jigs and clamps to hold everything true during setup. I’d mock up each pane with jigs and clamps before each stage of assembly and check and double check everything for square before the silicone sets up.

Not worth the risk. As previous post mentioned sell as a reptile enclosure and get a little back that you can use for a new tank.

that would make a kick ass palladium like someone else said... or a carnivorous plant tank... man... some sarracenia, some nepenthes... a ton of flytraps... that shit'll look amazing...
