Storing acrylic tank

[niger12]

I had a custom acrylic tank made a while back I am now living in a very warm climate and also don't have room to set it back up. Will it hurt the tank to store it in the attic.
Thanks

I doubt it. Acrylic seams are welds, and acrylic will hold up under that kind of heat.
One of my tanks is a 110 gallon custom acrylic tank that my girlfriends parents gave me. They had it sitting in an outdoor barn for 8 years in Michigan, and it held up just fine. If a tank can take that, then your attic should be no sweat.

That is kinda what I thought but did not want to learn the hard way. Just was not sure if it would warp.
SCSInet, I was born in Michigan and lived there for 31 years. Now I live in South Carolina. I can tell ya it is a little warmer here but I see you guys have been as hot as us lately.
Edit: Just noticed you are from GA, go to Marietta all the time for work.

I'm from WI originally, Milwaukee to be exact... it's funny how it gets hotter there than it does down here, it just stays overall hotter here on average... ugh... can't wait for Winter.

That's to funny, I also lived in Manitowoc WI for a year.
