ive heard horror stories of water into reptile tanks, so how can you tell the difference? i got a free 55g tank and trying to figure out how to tell? just fill it with water and see what happens?

ill try to find the thread where dude sliced his hand open filling up a tank. but i assume the only difference could be the thickness of the glass. how thick is the glass of a standard 55g?

I still don't understand what the question is...
Also I believe its a quarter inch.

he wants to know if the tank he has in an aquarium turned reptile cage or was it a reptile cage to begin with. There is a huge difference. I believe the thickness is 1/4 inch vs 1/8.
Look under it and to see if you can located a tab. Post pictures of tank.

its dirty from sitting in a garage, ill wipe off what i can then let it soak with some vinehar and a few modded mj 1200s, and i only found one sticker/tab, but the tank is pretty heavy so im assuming its the thicker of the 2.

Thats the most talented Chameleon that I have ever seen. I can't even see him.
(I think the stick on temp guages are only used for water?) which would indicate its an aquarium.

you should still fill it up with water to make sure it does not leak.
i have a story about Reptile tanks. for my birthday my brother bought a used tank for that and he was told that it was a 75 gallon tank but wasn't told if it was a reptile tank or aquarium so he filled it up with water in his second story apartment and after getting it almost filled with water the tank blew up and water went everywhere. lets just say that the people who lived below him was not vary happy.

People who have reptiles also need to keep an eye on temp inside the cage too, so the thermometer on the tank mite have been for that. I had reptiles. but that does look like a fish tank.
