Testing a new tank

[Anthony Nolet]

I’m in the process of buying a new to me tank. It’s been empty for a year or so according to the seller. They have it covered in storage but I’m not sure what the storage location is like. I definitely plan to test it before setting it up, my question is how long would you test it before being comfortable putting it in your house with your fish?

I personally would fill and check for leakage the next day.

I'd probably just leave it for at least a week.
