Thank you all for your feedback! I will be selling this tank as a reptile tank and find another tank. I felt the structural integrity of the tank was compromised when it cracked, and if the crack is off set a bit the new pane of glass will eventually crack under stress. I roughly figured there...

@ Flower I feel the same way. I actually was concidering small claims court, but since he lives in NJ and im in NY ( 2hrs away) its going to be more of a hassel then its worth. He will get his, im a firm believer what goes around comes around. I should have removed the sand so im kicking my own...
