hey i have a reptile tank thats all glass its 4 feet long 2.5 fett back and like 2 feet tall. but the glass is very thin its the same thinkness as my 10 gallon tank. is it safe to fill if not how can i make it?
 
In general reptile tanks aren't meant to be filled completely with water. They're made with the thinner glass because of that. I don't think it would be safe to fill it completely, but there is one definite way to find out. You could take it outside and fill it up and see if it bows or breaks.
 
I wouldn't mess with it, you're risking a blowout. You could probably fill it up a few inches safely and do a paludarium, but there's no way you can fill it completely.
