Replacing Panel of Glass

[shaginwagon13]

Hey guys,

So I discovered that when we were lowering the top canopy brace (which is steel), it nicked one of the rear panels and cracked it.

I am going to put this in the DIY section because there is no other place to put it, however I will having a professional replace the panel.

Anyone have experience with having someone replace a panel of glass? Just for reference, its a peninsula style tank and the overflow (rear panel) is the one that is being replaced.

Any advice/experience or things to make sure of when its getting replaced?

Here are some pics so you guys can share my pain and just for reference here are the specs:
- 60 x 36 x 30
- Starphire (3 sides), regular back
- 3/4" Glass
- All corners mitered and polished




:blown:
