I'm thinking of setting up a 29 gallon long with only cichlids in it, but the 29 I have left over is a lizard tank. I know the seams are going to leak but I bought cocking for that. I have it filled up with tap water right now to test it. would it be a useable fish tank after I fix the seams?
Will It Work?????

You bought "cocking" I think you meant to say caulking theres a big difference
Was the tank sold as a reptile tank or a fish tank. Reptile tanks are made with thinner glass and aren't meant to hold water the seams will eventually burst under the pressure.

this is just a what if, I'm just curious. What if i filled it halfway with water and turned the other half into a place for a turtle to bask on. like half water half vivarium?
okay haha its about 18 in high how about only 6 1/2 inches of water just enough for 3:
1 1/2" cichlids
1 1/2" cichlids

Do you know if the tank is really ment for reptiles or is that just what you were using it for. Sometimes theres a sticker on the bottom that will say.
Putting fish in 6 1/2 inchs of water is not a good idea and would look dumb. Why not just buy another 29 they don't cost much if all you need is the tank.
if you were closer id just give you 30 gal tank, not that expensive and not worth the risk of a catastrophe!
