Tank at risk of failure?

[Eric1]

Just bought a house that came with this tank. I am interested in getting into the hobby but need someone to tell me if this tank is a disaster waiting to happen. 450 gallons, has water in it, does not appear to have any leaks but the seams are worrying me. What do you think?

Also, the last image I tried to capture a slight bowing of the acrylic. Should I be concerned with this?

Welcome. That’s a lot of bubbles in the seams. I don’t have any idea if that means tank is going to fail

I have similar issue but it's a much smaller tank (115G) seam look bubble like your so I'm worry it gonna fail soon and shut it down, I took it back to my yard and though if I hammer the seam the tank would fall a part. I was wrong! it strong as **** and the seam didn't fail the hammer test, even I use a splitter the seam still not fail lol. Anyway, it's your call and it's your house...450G of water is no joke at all.

u can always restore with some silicone if u are worried about a failure .. it is freshwater i have a 300 gallon and got it used restored it completely and has been up for 8 years and still going ... u can always buffer scratches out from acrylic but do some research before u do anything to it and if it is up and has water it may still be good a full picture of the tank could help
