55 gallon with plastic bottom

I just purchased a 55 gallon but it has a plastic bottom instead of a glass one. I tried googling info about it but no luck. Does anybody out there know any thing about this tank and is it safe for fish.

its for reptile only so don't use it for aquarium as it will not hold the weight of water

bad idea the trim is to help support the tank

I googled a way to glue glass and plastic together. A simple epoxy bead outside of the tank. The glass thickness is the same as a regular 55 gallon aquarium. I will be filling it up with water (outside) to pressure test it.
