Acrylic tank in backyard a couple days?

[zapantha]

Just bought a acrylic 350 gal, 4x4x3, and was wondering if its ok to be in my backyard on smooth plywood for a couple until I can clean it on my next day off?

It's not a good idea. Acrylic tank sitting in the sun tend to have a higher failure rate.

What about with a tarp would that help?

i think it's more of the heat thats the problem i'd put a tarp on it and a fan under the tarp

Left my 3 - 55 gallon acrylic on the porch for 2 weeks covered in a tarp with partial sun to shade. Didn't have any problem at all. I'm from SoCal so the heat is pretty high at times.

I would think it would be direct heat that would cause the issue right? I know a lot of our tanks on here can get almost 90s at times?
