tank question

[shavo]

just wondering, i have had my 125 for 15 years now, switched to salt almost 2 years ago and the tank was never resealed. Do i have to worry about the seals of the tank? I acually am starting to think about it and if i should worry about it

just curious how long people have had water in there tanks without resealing

I think the risk to the seal comes from drying out and having the silicone shrink or crack. I ran a 56 gallon as a freshwater set-up for 5 years.... The tank then sat dry for a year, then was set up as salt tank for another 4 years and no problems. My current 120 is up for close to 6 and all is well. There was an lfs in our area that had an older make tank up for well over 20 years and it never gave a problem.
