Wow, that sucks. Hopefully it didn't do too much damage to your place. You can always get a new piece of glass cut at any glass shop and silicone it in. I haven't done it, but I know others have. Any idea why it failed though?

....OMG That sucks big time !!
Never had one blow out on me thank God !....had big overflowing when filling problems ...but not 350 gallons. Thank god it wasn't stocked. So sorry to hear that....I was so looking forward to seeing it as it progressed 
.
I would try to figure out WHY it blew before putting time and money into repacing the front glass.
WOW !! What a nightmare for you.

OMG! I had the same happen but with a full stocked, newly set up 225g sw tank.
I really feel for you man. Good luck with the clean up. Lots of fans & a good wet/dry helped us out a lot.
