Tank Storage

[thavngr98]

I have a 90 gallon tank that I used for salt water about a year ago. When I moved I spent a good 2 hours cleaning the tank out. My question is does anyone think the integrity of the tank has lost some of its holding strength sitting in my basement for the past year? the caulking in the seams does not feel dried out. Also I plan on storing this tank for at least another year. any recs on storing it longer?

Well, the tank I'm using now is circa 1993. It was a reef tank from 1993 till 1999, then sat in a basement from 1999 till 2006. I just plopped some water in it and its doin just fine . Storing a tank in a basement will not appreciably lower its integrity.

Why oh why don't UK houses have basements ?

You may need to move north Allen - plenty up here with a cellar!
