Drain it immediately

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.

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.

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