I think you pretty much screwed. you can put new glass in the bottom but your pretty much going to be rebuilding the tank at that point. You'll need to remove all silicone and remove the bottom glass and replace and reglue and silicone. Its kind of a pain in the butt but can be done, I personally would look on craigslist or something and find a used tank. Depending on size you can get one pretty cheap, ecspecially if you just need the tank and not the whole set up.
