Default Question on taking tank down

Just wondering if it is ok to drain my tank & clean before I put it up for sale, or will the silicone dry out? I would think a week or two dry would be fine, just want to make sure.

Thanks,

Jason

^ Agreed. You could leave it for a year with no water in it, and it would be fine provided you didn't do something silly like leave it in direct sunlight for that year.
