Can this 240 gallon be salvaged with a new stand and re-silicone?


Also, why is there two extra pieces of glass running down both sides of the tank on the inside?!
Biggest worry is the small chipped edge :/ 4AE0E147-74C7-4D0A-B433-AB41C5CDF02D.jpeg

No idea what they were trying to accomplish but I wouldn't risk it.
 
Im getting ready to repair a 225gal tank, i have to replace the back panel but this one seems like you would be buying alot of new glass and redoing the entire tank. Unless your up for a huge project and basically building yourself a new tank I wouldn't mess with it. Definitely worth using as a snake cage or something though.
 
You could prob fill it and it would be fine. It could also split apart and spill. All a matter of willingness to accept the risk. I would never touch a cracked chipped tank over 20 gallons.
