Tank repair?

I was looking through the post "how many tanks do you own" and was noticing a few peeps that talk about tanks needing repaired and resealed and what not. The largest tank I own is a 29 gal but as I been stressing to everyone that I am getting a 90 gal when I get back. Is that a problem with bigger tanks and is it preventable. Sorry to ask the dumbest questions I am just taking precautions on what to expect when I get the larger tank.
If you guys are getting bothered on where my post for something like this goes lemme know I dont want to be that guy with poopy posts in the general discussion.

Hello JoJo. I don't think it's the size of the tank that matters. Most of the posts I've read where people are resealing their tanks are mostly used ones. Chances are these tanks were not properly maintained to begin with. They may not have been level causing pressure on the seals leading to a leaking tank. Also in my opinion the more the tank is moved around the more likely they are to spring a leak. I bought my 155 10 years ago. It's been full, stocked and running the entire time. Never emptied and I've never moved it. No problems so far
