What is the best way to store a freshwater aquarium?
AKQ asked:
55 gallon glass aquarium with stand. I want to dry store it and be sure that the seals are not compromised.

Anywhere you like but just cover it with something so you don’t scratch the glass. Also make sure you thoroughly clean it before you use it again.

If you are not using it, putting it away somewhere where it won’t get broken is fine. Glass tanks with silicone sealant don’t rot or anything, so you don’t have to worry about it deteriorating. You can also put padding around it if it’s a large tank, like blankets so nothing accidentally hits it. Glass tanks break more easily when there is no water in them.
