Almost impossible to tell the severity of a crack from a picture.

Two considerations:

If this tank leaks, home much damage will it do to your home?

Will worrying about this crack/chip cause you to lose sleep?

The answers to these questions should help you decide.

I wouldn't use it for anything but a temporary quarantine tank.

Take a look at the left side of that photo; it looks like there's some incursion in the seams, too. Walk away!
