Do acrylic tanks have a usable lifespan? I've got a 54g corner tank which has been sitting in storage for 18 months. I purchased it used about 3 years ago, but had no idea how old the tank was when I got it.
Assuming it has no leaks, is it okay to use? Is there any way to determine if prone to failure?

Thanks all!
