Hello everyone I'm new to the forum. I have a 225 gal tank that I took down last summer. I would like to sell it . Is there any concern of the acrylic separating at the seams? I had someone tell me that it could crack and come apart because it has been setting empty. Any experience with this?
 
I agree if it's built right nothing to worry about.
If it was glass I would say different.
Had a client with a 225 sitting in storage for about 5 yrs with a built in artificial reef I reset up for him and no problems, still going strong after about 4.5 yrs now.
How thick of acrylic? Any signs of the seam crazing?
