My 48 inch tall aquarium is 1 inch thick with zero bow although it's only 3 ft by 3ft by 48 tall......I would say no with that damage... if it's dirt cheap I'd consider it for a garage tank filled half way paladarium style.....even half full that a monster lol

you could strengthen the tank if the extra effort is worth it to you.
1) Steel band around base and top. If you did that, you might as well box the 4 vertical corners too.
OR
2) Vertical acrylic rib mid panel to reduce the bow. This rib could be placed on inside or outside of tank depending on your preference but it would spoil the large deep single pane effect.

Yeah I was thinking about this possibility, of course preserving the giant viewing pane is kind of the entire point of the tank haha
A member here had a 8x4x4 tank blow and when I was there the story I got was the water moved the mini van 3 feet. The van was parked 8 feet away and he was sitting in front of it just minutes before.
Not worth it IMO

Nope, current owner bought it and never set it up, all this information is from him about the prior prior owner. Currently in his garage for several years
Yeah, not free haha. I'm leaning against it at the moment. Although a tank that size is a dream come true, sometimes you have to let it go. Maybe will ask to repair it and test it
He decided it was too big for his original location and put in a 750g instead haha
