It looks nice and like the fish feel secure, I somehow wonder how some of the stones stay in place though, a couple look like they defy gravity

Sorry to see this, after all that work you put in.

Like Jeff suggested it should be fixable with a new glass.

honestly i'd get a tank from Daveyc at the price he's selling them its a bargain as it sounds as if your unsure what your doing trying a self repair, then try and fix this tank at your leisure when your not under pressure to get it fixed. i've seen daveys tanks and they are in great shape plus when you fix yours in your own time you'll have another tank to play with

would you be confident enough to try replace the bottom yourself? the hardest part is cleaning off the old silicone but with a little time and elbow grease it will come off. also i'd advise getting aquarium safe silicone against any unknown regular silicone, i got mine on ebay at less than 20e for 2 large tubes which would cost ye 40e in lfs.
just make sure and get the glass edges polished but more advise can be given if you decide to give it a shot although i'm suprised nobody is closer to help out... i would if i was a bit closer

if it says its aquarium safe or 'fungicide & solvent free' then work away, otherwise i wouldn't chance it because alot of it isn't designed to be fully submersed. i've used normal silicone in aquariums before to fix things to the glass only to have it fall off in a couple of months pal
