***HELP PLEASE****

Moving tanks this weekend and the bottom rear corner of my display chip/broke off. Does anyone have ideas on how to save the tank? Any and all ideas are welcome and appreciated. My reef is currently living in a Brute.

Wonder if it could be reinforced by adding a piece if glass on the inside? @UncommonSense is pretty knowledged working with glass tanks and may have a suggestion?

I hate to say this but I ( me personally) would not ever trust that tank to safely hold water again.
I think you need to jump on craigslist, facebook marketplace, local reef clubs or even local fish stores and find a replacement.

This is pretty much worst-case scenario… it appears as though the tank was dropped, or walked into a solid metal object!

Because the whole corner of that glass pane is broken out, leaving a window into the tank; the only reasonable way to reliably fix this is by replacing that glass pane completely… it’s a non-trivial job, but is possible!

Since the tank is empty, it would be the perfect opportunity to pickup a new tank. Not knowing what the availability of tanks in the op's area makes it just a guess on my part.
