I'm going to be ordering a new AIO aquarium. I am buying it as I'll be moving 4/1, and figure it's a good time to upgrade. That being said, I want to ensure I have the tank at my current place before I move. Given the size of the aquarium, I want to store it in the garage. The problem is I'm in Chicago, and it's the winter. We're typically under 20 degrees until March.

Can the cold do anything to the seams of the tank? I will try to keep it to about a 2-3 week overlap, but I also don't want the AIO to go out of stock.

Thanks!

I was told, by a few aquarium makers, if it is stored dry, and being this is a new tank so that's a given, it's a non issue.
