I dought it because it does not go all the way through the tank so I think it should be alright. Even if it do I will be upgrading before it happens as soon as I find somebody to buy my eel.

Over a long period of time the stress and pressure put on that joint would definitely crack that tank. Now whether thats 3 months of 13 years is a different story.
