New Empty Tank In The Garage+Freezing Temps=?

My new 150 RR is in the garage waiting for the new carpet to get installed. I know it's not good for tanks to sit too long in the cold but is this going to do damage to the seals?

My current 90 gallon tank sat in my garage for 2 winters before setting it up. I just made sure it was room temp before adding any water for the water test. No issues yet - knock on wood - its been set up since January.

My 29 gal. sat for 5 years in an attic, no leaks.

As long as it isn't out in the elemants exposed directly to rain/snow. Then it can be stored for years without any adverse effects.

Thanks for the replies all, I feel better about it being out for a while now

I'll post pics when it's up and running.
