I just filled it and i noticed it's bulging idk if it was doing that before. Bought the tank (55 gallon) second hand.

    Never had one burst but that’s definitely not looking great lol

    Huge bubble in the silicone with the warped frame is a big red flag

    The tank does look compromised.
    Usually if I have a tank that is compromised I will immediately put it outside.
    Having it explode into your wall or just leak 55 gallons in your house is next level disappointment.

    So … on the bright side, that frame isn’t meant to be particularly load bearing. The silicone alone between the panes should keep it from bursting.

    But noooooo I would not use it as is. Consider making a project to re-seal it.

  4. Unless you don’t care about having 55 gallons of water pouring onto whatever floor this tank is above, then I would not use it.

    It’s going to absolutely explode with the force of at least 2 Nagasaki bombs. Your entire neighborhood will be one large 200 foot deep pond and highly radioactive.

  6. Yikes! I’d be building a new tank immediately. If that gives way it will be a heartbreaking disaster.

    I would drain that like literally today unless you want to clean up water damage all over your room

    Whatever its sitting on, needs to be thrown out as well. Time for a new set up.
