Difference in tanks??

I am looking to buy a used 100 gal tank. Is there a difference in a tank made for fish verses a tank for a terrianum. Is the terrianum as stromg as the fish tank?

terriaums won't hold water like a fish tank will. Some even say do not fill with water. If it is a fish tank used for a reptile then it should be allright ( Needs to be cleaned very well) If terriam then no. They also usually use much thinner glass then a fish tank would
