Hi!
I have owned my Juwel Rio 240 tank since spring 2004, and have been wondering about how long the silicone seams/seals will hold. The other day I asked a seller about this, and he said the aquarium has a lifespan of about 10 years. After that I might as well buy me a new one, since resealing the aquarium is more expensive than buying a new one... Ok, I live in Finland, and it is quite an expensive country. Is there any truth in this? Does it actually only have a lifespan of about 10 years?
