Here are some thoughts.
Either use a detritus sock or build a small chamber with a sponge or matting to act as mechanical filtration. This will keep big chunks of detritus and food out of the...

Yes Tony, you can nix the cannister.

I think it might be quite rare to find someone with a 6'x2' 3/4" piece of glass. That's an unusually thick dimension.
Thanks for the thread that generated the glass shop tip though.
Good luck....
