Material Test From The Field.
Last weekend I took the model you sent me, and filled it up with water and froze it solid.
Two days later I took it out of the freezer and dropped it on the concrete floor at head level.
The ice shattered into a million pieces but no cracks or damage to the model.
While it was still cold I took a 2# sledge hammer to it.
You can not even see any scuff marks where I hit it. (I'm impressed)
I do believe your tank will survive anything mother nature or animals can throw at it.
We agree that fiberglass would have never survived, that test. (Engineer)
