How long does everyone leak test new tanks?

[J-Doge33]

So as I procrastinate on posting my 125g build by building a bunch of smaller tanks under the guide of quarantine and anemone specific...

How long do you guys usually leak test a.tank? Is it different based on manufacturer, say Innovative Marine vs Aqueon? Size of tank, say 10g vs 90 or 125?

Thoughts?

I didn't leak test my 90g tank since it was new.

Only need to test if buying a used tank that's not running when you see it...

I would leak test any tank. And I would think that about 48 hours would be fine.

I usually do all my own plumbing out in my shop before they go in the house. I will run with freshwater for a few days to make sure all is good.

I fill with fresh water and run pumps and such for 24hrs. I like to check the tank and plumbing for leaks that way if I have an issue I'm not wasting fresh salt mix. I recently set up a WB 330.7 and had some problems with the plumbing. Would have sucked to have to drain 285g of fresh salt mix since I can only store about 60g.

Same here ! Mine was a new Aqueon.
