Replace it better safe than sorry one crack reduces structural integrity of the glass all the way around the hole it will be easier to flex and crack at other points

Here is how I see it. It is cheaper to replace now than if something happens later after it is online and it fails. I'd gladly pay Peter now a couple bucks rather than his buddy Paul when it has a couple more zero's added to it.
 
I think you’ll be fine since it’s up high and doesn’t hold any water back.
 
I already put in a new tank, ill use old one for qt
 
Makes it easy and safe....if you want to use the other one just re-enforce the area around the crack and it should be fine.
 
Ah its fine, i put a dab of silicon on it.
 
I would buy another tank.All the money that is going to be in it is not worth loosing it all
