jerry,

I kept a 30 gallon tank in my garage in New Jersey for a summer without a problem. True, it doesn't get as hot as Memphis, but it is still hot. I was more worried about the winter's cold cracking the seals, so the tank went into my basement in the fall.

I used the tank a couple of months ago. I checked it for leaks using fresh water. Everything was fine.

HTH
