Would you still use it?

I cracked the glass while trying to drill my DIY sump (first time drilling glass). The cracks do not seem to go all the way through; still smooth when you run you fingernail across. Would anyone put some silicone along the cracks as a fail safe and still use it.
Thanks

If that's on the bottom I would say no and even if it's on the side I would probably say no as I'm guessing you drilled it for a bulkhead so I would be scared of future blowouts.
 
Thanks everyone, my brother said the same thing. Looks like I am going to remove the baffles and try something else. The tank was from the Petco $1 a gallon sale so it’s not too big of a loss!
Better to just be safe!
 
Curious,what size tank was it?
I've had good luck with small tanks using a dremel and diamond bits.
