Tank leaking!

WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!! I do not envy people who switch tanks or upgrade tanks!
I picked up this beauty around 2 PM from Ocean Gallery, got home around 3 PM, worked from 3 - around 9ish getting it all done.
I just want to thank the makers of maxijet and vinyl hoses and petco for having a sale and me being smart and having an extra 20G.
The 75g is toast, I looked at the bottom seam and the glass was separating at the corner!! Then to add insult to injury as I was taking off the glassholes overflows I loosened the bolt and the back pain shattered!
Wheew I'll post pictures soon I'm pooped!

DOH! I forgot I didn't even aquascape! The water isn't cleared up yet so I couldn't even see to do it and I wanted to get my livestock in ASAP!
I posted a new thread with an initial picture. My plan is tomorrow to clean my water mixing bin since now it is all YUCKY from the transfer then mix up 30g of water to do small water changes every few days since I added about 40 lbs of new sand to the tank (dead). I'm hoping since it is a light bioload and no corals that it will be fine. This weekend I will setup my apex and build traditional covers for the tank instead of the egg crate that is sitting on top now.
The worse part about this whole thing is that I was finally to the point where my tank was like good and ready to add corals/livestock and enjoy it. Now I need to get it settled and take it from there. No beer for me tonight, work tomorrow and I don't drink unless its the weekend/celebration so diet coke woooooohoooo.
