Your rock formation looks great. I like you you've positioned the waterfall into the front like that. It will be interesting to see how this project turns out.

How did you manage to break the tank? And are you going to be able to easily get the foam out of there without having to break all the glass? I can see real potential for you to convert that into a front opening type tank with a couple of new pieces of glass on the front that hinge at the sides and meet in the middle. You could grind the edges of the glass smooth so that they are safe, or you could silicone a piece of airline tubing over the sharp part.

great idea...any suggestions on what kind of hinges? and how to actually carry this off...love the idea of a "clean" appearance...type of "glue" that would be waterproof???
