crack
the crack could have been caused by no support under the glass-it may be possable to silicone another piece of glass on the inside bottom with a new hole cut out-as it is i don't think it was from your drain as your bulkhead already fit through the hole

For your piece of mind & due to lack of time, probably better off buying a brand new tank. It's a PITA to cut out & properly reseal a new sheet of glass into a broken tank, especially on the bottom pane.

Thanks for the info everyone
I was hoping to wake up this morning with a clear idea of what I was wanting to do. Sadly, just as frustrated as when I tried to go to sleep last night. I keep coming back to the same thought that I really don't have the time to do this properly. I have a couple of different jobs I do and a great many projects related to them that keep me active. But I was really happy with the tank for the last couple of days and I could see how in 6 months when everything settled into the new tank and new lights that things would have been stunning! I had no intention of leaving the hobby a couple of days ago or even one second before this happened. But now, again, I think I don't have the time and I should just move on. I got powerheads and heat on before going to bed. Today I will be setting up my old tank again but the stand no longer fits it so the tank will be one the floor. Things will be okay. If i am to get out I will be listing things for sale later today and hope to wrap it all up as soon as possible.

just go out to your LFS and get another tank. a 27gl should'nt be to hard to find at a LFS that will drill it well you wait or call in advance . Much easier the fixing a cracked tank of that size.
If your stand is not right try to correct it and ensure your flat and level befor to fill the new tank.
