Refurbishing metaframe tank

Has anyone done this?
I have a 15 gallon metaframe that I have been using as a quarantine tank.
Last night I discovered a leak so I drained it.
This morning I checked it out and one of the glass sides was loose.
When looking at this I pushed on it a little and broke the glass.
Was thinking of replacing all the glass.
Has anyone done this? I think they look cool.
Wondering if it was worth it and how hard it would be?

I think they look cool too. Should be an easy fix with a new panel and a good bead of silicone. Whether to change all the panels, or not, is up to you. I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke" school of thought.

I hope you can fix it, because I think they look really cool.

If the glass is broken you probably don't need to replace those parts. Here's a link on resealing tanks
