I found a new, still crated Tenecor 600 gallon tank sitting in someones garage. I am concerned about what temperature fluctuations may have done to it in that time. Could have been below zero and over 100 degrees. Does anyone have any experience with one stored like this?
 
Check the seams, and go over them with weldon 40 and it should be fine.
 
I picked up a 140 gallon from my cousin and it sat in his garage for 5-10 years its up and running in my backyard patio no leaks what so ever. But I can understand why you would be worried I as concerned as well.

Is there any crazing on the acrylic itself? If its brand new and there is some crazing then you will know the temperatures have affected the tank but I don't think you should have much to worry about.
Just like suggested above you can tip and pour all the joints with Weldon #40 (I just did this in my 20ft tank restoration). If you do this it will be a huge load off your mind and shouldn't cost you much $ or time
