    If I had sold you it, knowing what you were going to do with it, I wouldn't be able to warranty it. However, with that said, I'm not sure what I would recommend for you. The finish on it will protect it for many years but it can not protect it from any prolonged standing water. It'll come down to how you take care of it.

    They built it knowing its ultimate purpose, but I never asked if they did anything to protect it from water. That said the plan is to treat it as if any water at all is a bad thing. I'll set it on neoprene and keep it clean and dry. Without cursing it, spills out of the display are a rarity for me and we usually keep up on them when they do happen. Plan is just to treat it lovingly.

    Here's a teaser. We did a replant on Nicky's tank for Christmas. Not quite done.

    So we had an issue with the tank. We've managed to temporarily set up the old tank on the new stand. New tank in 4 - 6 weeks.
