Used tank HELP PLEASE!!!

[Tx Medic]

I just got a used tank from a distant family member that passed away. It is 36" x 36" x 21" all exterior dimensions the glass is 3/8" thick. I will be filling it up tonight to see if it leaks I just cant find anything online with these dimensions any of yall have any insight into this kind of tank. I hope I don't have to reseal it if I do I might just get a new one since I have the stand for one just gotta be able to find one.

Sounds like a nice tank size. Hope it works for you.

Is it a cube? Sounds like a nice size.

yes It Is a cube and the volume when I calculated it was 115. It is kinda a pain in the butt I cant find anyone with another like it. I am trying to price out all the supplies like rock, sand, lights and powerheads.

well cube-ish

that looks like a nice tank! Cube tanks seem to be pretty popular.

nice aspect ration, not too deep. making circulation and lighting easy

dont worry about the brand or similar. just that it holds water, if it was empty for a wile there coud be a dry seam. test it outside for a couple days to week to makes sure it doesn't leak.

Got it filled up on the back porch gonna leave it for a couple days. I will probably start a build thread document start to finish this will be my biggest tank ever im upgrading from a 29 gallon lol. I will need lots of advice on this build.

If it leaks I would reseal that beauty.

Try to check if the glass is tempered and which panes of glass are tempered. I would look into drilling it to get yourself a sump.

Would be sweet if you can get he middle bottom drilled and set up a center column overflow and return. Walk around cube tank for the win! I believe most of the time bottoms are tempered though.

Agreed it is very simple with a little elbow grease. That tank is a great size
