Do the front and back panes sit on the bottom piece of glass ?

Are you sure you are only 1mm too wide ie .039" or is it one cm .394" ?

yes the sit on the bottom pains! but the good things is we can take the very bottom panel off without tearing down the whole tank it would stay intact and then we would need to just re-silicone the bottom panel back on

Hard to tell from the pics but have you removed the euro-bracing? is the base of the tank 1mm wider than the door?

no the euro-bracing is still on the tank just on the front and back panels, and yes the tank is literally 1mm to big for the door!
im thinking of just shoving it through and repainting it after!

Too wide where? on the height or the width.

Sorry just re-read the first post, why not remove the euro bracing?

Plan "B" a couple of car jacks will widen the door frame quite a bit

haha yes they would! and its the height of the tank thats to much as thats the only way it will go through the door
on its side

Kill two birds with one stone, lose the euro-bracing .
