safe to say i would replace my tank before 10yrs came up just to be safe, i mean you can get a tank for a few hundred but having it crash to the floor is gonna be 10 times that amount in damage and replacing stuff lost......i would say the same for stands too to be honest
 no real way to say for sure too many variables to conside just better to play it safe i guess

That was why I'd rather pay a little bit more but avoid to buy a used tank, because I know it is going to give me peace for a 10 years period, especially I live on the top floor of an appartment, really don't want anything to happen, the damage would cost more than just buying a new tank. So, every time I moved, I just bought a new tank.

Oh and the old pump will only die the day after the Boxing Day sales are over so you have to pay full price for the replacement.

Something always gets you
After floods, failures and all sorts of bad things I've figured this routine out now.
Something bad happens, lets say a pump failure and you just run 1 main pump for almost everything. You in a mad panic get said pump fixed until you can replace it properly. Thinking ahead, you rebuild the old pump to keep on hand for the future 7pm Sunday failure. next month, you float switch fails for the ATO (now have 3 switches). next month 4 sets of T5 die in 2 days..... RESULT: the sad realization that you just can't account for everything that could go wrong.
