Hey, I got this free 15 gallon IM AIO tank when I bought an IM 75G tank. The 75G passed the leak test but unfortunately this little one I was gonna use got chipped after I filled it with water. I’m super bummed about it because I was gonna use it as a QT tank once I set up my big one. What do you guys think? Is it just cosmetic and something I can fix with epoxy or something or is this just completely done for? I’ll try and post a video in the comments if these pictures aren’t clear enough.

It’s now free because it’s unuseable. Don’t risk that, I sure wouldn’t.
You could probably still use it as a paludarium for shrimp, snails, and some sort of small terrestrial animal/insect. Idk much about crabs but i know some people do paludarium set ups with smaller species. Just try and support the chip with some sealant if you go that route to avoid any possible cracking. Otherwise, it’s definitely still useful as a terrarium since it doesn’t have a full on Crack. It should keep humidity pretty nicely as long as it doesn’t fully crack. You could get a gecko with a 15 gal long, or an anole with a 15 gal tall. I also think a smaller species of snake would be fine as well!
It honestly might be fine I have a flex sealed 2.5 that’s been holding since about 2018… but I can’t tell exactly how bad it is just in the photos always safer to get a new one they are cheap enough
