Advice on monster acrylic used tank

[INTHECOWBOYSWETRUST]

If You are going to keep it outside or in the Garage and don't care about your fish I might take that Chance, But I really think that tank is about to break and I personally wouldn't take that Chance!!!
I had a 300 gallon do the same thing to me and the whole back blew out of it in the middle of the night!!!

If you really want that tank, I would have that crack fixed and the rest of the tank reinforced with some thick large pieces of acrylic.
Build a frame and build a wall around that tank and fill her up to 30-36" in height, I'm no specialist but i think you would be okay and nobody would see the water missing at the top because it would be in-wall anyways.. It's a gorgeous tank though...

You can brace the top and bottom all you want that tank will still bow like crazy in the middle of each panel.

ive seen tanks leak and heard from people about glass panels pop at the seams but I’d never seen a tank that size of acrylic pop like that
That was a little scary I thought
