I’ve had tanks like that after I drilled them and as long as my baskets for the bulkhead covered them and I didn’t overtighten them I never had a problem

Where should I add the silicon after the gasket, or on the other side. The cracks are in the interior of the tank.I would seal the bulkheads with silicone and test first. But I wouldn't be afraid to use the current tank.
It’s a basement with waterproof flooring.Hard to say if a small chip will spread into a full crack when loaded with water. If it was in a basement on concrete, yes I would use it. On a floor with finished rooms below, no not me. No one can say for sure long term, and no one here will have to pay for a new tank or damage it causes if it leaks. I don't like to take these risks especially for $60, others do.
I have a new idea. Do you think it is possible to make this hole bigger and put the overflow box.

This is a mustThis is why besides applying very little pressure I've always clamped a piece of plywood to the bottom of the hole. Never had an issue with chip outs or dropping piece of glass.
May I ask what your primary concern if you were to use this tank?
Same here! Just get yourself a good silicone. Normal silicone doesn’t stick to rubber but they’re are blends of silicone that will.I would seal the bulkheads with silicone and test first. But I wouldn't be afraid to use the current tank.
Add the silicone from the outside in. First set the interior bulkhead and gaskets. Be sure to lubricate one side of the gasket. Do not lubricate the side that you are siliconing because the silicone won’t stick to lube.Where should I add the silicon after the gasket, or on the other side.
