Hi everyone!
I recently recieved a 75 gallon rimless tank with 1/2" glass. Unfortunately it cracked in transit. The tank has been replaced by fantastic customer service, but I am wondering if the old, damaged tank could be repaired to safely hold water. Let me hear your thoughts and concerns! Is it trash? Could reptile owners put it to use?
Thanks!

to me, it looks like it'd hold water. If you have flooring that would be forgiving of a possible future leak, I'd give it a try.
