180 gallon aqueon safe to stand on end

hi all recently picked up a used and in great shape 180 gallon drilled tank getting ready to start cleaning up this tank and was curious if anyone has set a tank of this size on end to hose out would that be safe or a no go? thanks guys

I'd use a shopvac, better to not risk the integrity of your tank by putting it on a side that wasn't designed to support that much weight.

Agree, remember it's just silicone that is cured. Stressing the joint(s) could cause damage or premature failure.
