Is this tank safe?

[The Morning]

For the cost of a 40 gallon I honestly think I would just replace it.

I don’t think that would work as it would make the bottom uneven, personally I think it will be fine and should really affect the integrity of the tank as long as there are no cracks

The chipped area is on the side of the tank, not the bottom.

It’s not that I can’t afford a new one, it’s that i want to take this situation as a learning experience and fix it myself if it needs to be fixed.

Agreed, if it's in the garage or something where water damage won't matter so much, go for it, personally I wouldn't put that inside on wood flooring. Would just wait for Petco dollar per gallon sale and get another if need it inside

My cat knocked something over which hit my brand new never had a drop it in 40 gallon breeder. Is it safe to use as is, should I junk it, or am I able to fix it?

I'd definitely junk the cat rather than trying to fix it.

I have jokingly considered putting him right back outside where I originally found him a few times when he acted up lol.
