Jeremy sorry to hear that. I have a 55g non RR at the old house sitting in my yard. Feel free to take it.
 
So after researching I think o have determined the cause of the failure. The tank at one,time had a center cross beam support that I believe at one time was removed, the excess stress on,the rear glass panel plus the,missing support lead to the glass taking on a bend and cracking... This probably would not have happened had I not drilled the over flow top dead center. And instead placed it off set in fact looking at a lot of factory built reef ready tanks none of them have over flows drilled center I believe for this reason .. Unless they are acrylic...
