Is this tank really garbage???!

[Mom.VS.Reef]

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 :/

Anyone know how I can add my video?

Tank probably has a leak and instead of redoing the entire tank someone said why don’t I just put the glass inside to do 2 sides instead of 4.

I’d pass… too risky to rehab.. IMO

 

[Jekyl]

No idea what they were trying to accomplish but I wouldn't risk it.

The glass is not even level. I would hard pass.
Also glass on the inside used to be pretty common form of bracing so could be that or could be a repair attempt

Nothing better than a reptile tank possible vivarium.

I love rehabbing tanks, and would pass on that in a heartbeat.

 

[DinoMagnet]

Not worth the risk honestly

 

[Alexoss]

When in doubt, throw it out.

Hard pass!

I wouldnt risk 200 gallons on the floor over 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.

Everyone is being a downer! Display it over a swimming pool so if it leaks, it’s an instant fountain feature.

I would also pass on it…

No, the tank needs to be recycled.
