Storing an acrylic aquarium...cold weather

[crawdaddy905]

Hi
Would it be good for the tank to store, empty, under my deck with a tarp over it to protect from U.V in -30 C or -22 F for the winter? -30 C we only get for a few days, most times it's -15 C or 5 F
I live in Brampton really close to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Your location states North Carolina...Its 60f now...no where near Canada temps..
Regardless..Storing a dry tank in frezing weather should not be a problem..

Not an expert but in theory should be OK if you keep it dry - maybe store it upside down just in case. The tank is all the same material so expansion/contraction shouldn't cause untoward stress. The acrylic may become more brittle with the cold, sounds like it will be protected so no issue there.
