Tank Life

[scooter blenny]

anyone know what is the life span of a fish tank?

Glass will be able to maintain its structural integrity for a very very long time provided no form of damage is done to it.

You are probably worried about the silicon holding everything together... well, that depends on the grade of silicon used then.

The showtanks of Aquatechnique has been supposedly around for more than 10 over years... and the black silicon used is building construction grade (which I am using for my own tank, and Alvy and Hon are using too). It is probably the most expensive silicon... you can ask Alvy how much he spent on it as he DIYed his own tank with it.

For tank life is mostly depend on the silicon being used and also the correct thickness for the tank,.....i have a tank last for about 15 year lioa,.....
