Will Tank Leak?

[cmonti]

Im going to preface this post buy saying my safest bet is to not use the tank but am stil looking for some input based on experience....
I have a 20L with a small crack on the outside corner of the tank. It has never been used for fish, only reptiles. The crack does not penetrate inside the tank or interfere with the silicone. I filled the tank last night and..... no leaks. Am I good?? I plan to keep it filled for a few days just to be sure, before I start buying equipment.

any thoughts?

Water puts a lot of pressure on an aquarium tank, I would not take the chance. Also if it was made as a reptile tank it is not safe for aquarium use anyway.
All glass 20L can be had for about $40. Spend the money to get some assurance you are putting up a tank that isn't gonna dump out its contents IMO.
