I have a 55 gallon DT, its about 15 years old. I've noticed the seems are turning black and starting to peel. My question is, how long do aquariums last? And should i replace my tank.

Inside.Is the peeling on the outside or is it the silicone seal inside?
Seems like is just the beading, not inside the joints themself.Sorry, totally missed that in your post. If the silicone is starting to peel on the inside, it may be time to consider replacing it or at minimum, draining and re-siliconing. Can you tell if it's the silicone between the glass/acrylic panes (basically holding them together) or the silicone beading over that?
