Where do you live?

Lets say its repairable but there is still a chance of it leaking or breaking. So imagine a friend comes over with a one gallon bucket and then dumps it on your floor for no reason and how angry you'd be. Now imagine 59 more friends come over and each dumped a gallon of water on your floor. Is it work the risk of having 60 gallons of water on your floor?
Play it safe get a new tank (upgrade if you can) then sell it as a reptile tank to recoop some money. There are plenty of people out there who buy cracked tanks for lizards that don't need water in their environment. Myself I have a cracked 33 gallon hex tank for a crested gecko
