picked up this 40g tall tank to make something with it not sure what but there's a large crack on the bottom on the frame. it's thick and the glass is thick too. Oceanic systems Inc. is the tank brand. Can I fill it should I risk it? no glass cracks

Just the wood is cracked, right? I am no expert, so maybe someone more knowledgeable in this topic can help, but I assume patching if it's just the wood will be fine... Right?

Just consider this more of a bump! Good luck, and I hope everything works out for you! :)

Bottom rim is plastic not wood and it actually is for more than just aesthetics. Looks like you might be able to repair it with some epoxy.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
