Just bought a used 125 gallon and i plan on storing it until i get place. The place i have to store it is either in my tiny room at my parents house or our storage barn that is not climate controlled. i would prefer to store in the barn, would i have to build a box or put extra braces to protect it from winter tempetures? what should i do?
 
Glass? If so, as long as it doesn't have any water in it to freeze, it should be fine storing it in the barn. The only thing you really have to worry about happening to it there is rodents chewing on the silicone. If it's an acrylic tank, I'm not sure if this advice is relevant though.
 
yes its glass, and no i'm not too worried about rodents. I'm gunna put it on the stand, and then possibly reseal it when i finally move.
