Tank Lifespans

[sumpfinfishe]

This is an interesting and not so surprising email response from the folks at Hagen regarding tank lifespans :!:

Hello Rich;
"All things being equal your aquarium should last for ten to fifteen years. Or, said differently, at ten years you should begin considering replacing your tank and start looking for sales, as it is around this time that the silicon begins to tire".

Hoping this helps,
