How long 'till it leaks????

[Myka]

I have had several tanks with plumbing survive 5-6+ years. I never seem to keep them any longer than that.

Including my freshwater days, I've had close to twenty tanks of different sizes and only had one leaker; an old metal-trim 15 gallon Cichlid breeder.

Leaks are few and far between

The last guy I heard of asking where all the water was coming from was the Captain of the Titanic

That's very encouraging. I always tend toward being a "worry wart"...

I guess the problems are fewer and farther between than I thought.
