Will a tank crack if suddenly exposed to cold temps? I am starting my 150 build today and I need to move the tank from the basement to the main floor. Unfortunately the easiest way is to take it outside and move it to the other side of the house. My concern is it's 11° today. Will the sudden temperature drop cause any issues?
 
You'll be fine. Even the silicon will be fine as well as they have a pretty wide temperature range.
 
Thanks. The almost 60° temp swing had me a little concerned.

Different material but it’s -30 here. Garage is heated. Took the vehicles out and the side by side from a 70 degree garage. Nothing broke.
