Attached are some picture of my old 180 gallon tank that I had set up when I lived with my dad. The tank was purchased brand new in 2018. In 2020 the ceiling collapsed on top of it and everything except for a black occellaris clownfish died. That was a very low point for me and I decided to take the tank down. The tank still held water without issues for about a week after this happened until I drained it and has been sotting empty collecting dust since. I want to bring it to my house and set it up. I need an upgrade from my 55 I currently have. Do you guys think the tank just sitting here for a few years has caused any structural issues after the ceiling collapsing over it? Should I get a new tank or should I be good to run with this one?

Water test it for a week. Sitting doesn’t do any damage. My tank sat empty for 2 years between 1994 and now and has had no issues. What hit the tank? A little drywall or 2x4’s?

Plaster and lathe
 
filled the tank to check for leaks and saw these gaps in the silicone on the front pane. Could have been there when I bought it honestly.
