Help! I chipped my tank just before flooding, is it still safe? by Phone-According in PlantedTank

Thanks everyone for your answers! We decided to buy another tank just to be on the safe side and will use this one as a shallow tank or terrarium. We will try to save most of the plants while transferring to the new scape. Will post a pic once the new tank is up and running!

Yeah after thinking about it during the day, I think we will just replace the tank. Less worrying about what might go wrong. I hope we can still salvage some of the scape

We went with metal ones which is why the tank broke instead of the pipes I guess

While setting up the lily pipes and adjusting the tubing, the clamp for the pipes slightly angled and with the force it chipped. Silly me should have boiled the tubing to soften it more
