quick question ( might be a stupid one)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Jeebus, people! :chillpill:

To the original poster: I agree with knox_rbp minus all the arguing with other posters. You would need to check all of the things he talked about before feeling comfortable using it for an aquarium. Even if you can fill it and it holds water, you need to see how thick the glass is and how it's constructed (bracing, top sealing, etc.) in order to know if it's relatively safe. Something can hold water and fail at the first sign of stress (cleaning, a kid tapping on the glass, a large fish smacking the glass, a rock falling against the side), so aquarium tanks are built with a safety factor built in to allow for a bit of extra stress or poor glass quality.

Some pics and measurements would go a long way in allowing us to give you a more informed answer. Things to measure would be tank dimensions and glass thickness for starters.
 
just maybe the original owner bought a fish tank and used it as a reptile tank--just my 10 cents
 
i wouldnt see why anyone would make a glass aquarium that big for just reptiles. that would be almost im possible to heat and just makes no sense. so its probably fine. if you can post pics or tell us how thick the glass is. but i would say your fine.
just measure the glass to double check and if the seals suck then just reseal it. its easy man

this is what the tank looks like if anybody is still browsing this topic
and as for the dimensions i can do it tomorrow since it's already late here and my tank is no where near me
