I'm with burning2nd! Imho it would be a waste to dismantle this tank. The bottom pane can be replaced with a little planning. 1st the bottom frame needs to be removed without busting it. A glass shop will be able to supply the right strength glass & cut to the exact size needed. You could choose nontempered glass and have a couple holes drilled in it for internal overflow boxes. Note where the old pane met the sides and don't be shy with the silicone!
