i am going to cut holes in it for the filter to go in. and will i need a heater too? or can that just be put in my filter? because i was told by someone that the heater can actually be put into the filter so it won't be seen in the tank. is this true?
 
here is the silica sand i bought today, but i'm not sure if it is ok to use?:

Take the glass to a nearby glass shop, they will cut it and smooth the edges for you. Thats unless you have the tools yourself..

And here you can get the accessories for the glass top. LINK
