$50 craiglist 225 tank/cabinet/canopy DIY refurbish

Now that the first 24 hours have passed without so much as drip of water or any slight change in the shape, I mean looking down the sides of this tank one can hardly notice any bow at all almost strait, so should I end the test and bring it inside where its safe? Im concerned that I should end the test and bring it in the house before some road side (can bee seen from the road) anomaly, vandal, bird strike, meteor, UV rays or snake bite put a hole in it LOL.

I just feel that the inside seals are too large (1 inch on sides and 2 inches on the bottom) to allow a simple leak. And if it was going to catastrophically tear the seams out it would have already occurred, especially with high winds all day yesterday and last night. I would have felt better if I had tested in the garage but from the back yard and plainly visible from neighbors on the hillside and the main parkway road 30 yards away, its equivalent to testing it in your front yard lawn.

What do you all think? Bring it in or continue the test?
 
IMO - Its good. If It was me - It would be in the house today. I think Its good to go!

That's my opinion!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so happy to see the tank full and holding water!!!
gunner you did a great job! and deserve a good pat on the back and a few six packs to congratulate you!:bowing::bowing::woot::woot::cool-1::cool-1:

i was worried that the wind was going to blow it over...even though it is almost physically improbable because it weights over a thousand pounds filled with water?
 
OK since there are no nay's I have decided to start draining it while the weather is still moderate and calm today as I just found out tomorrow we will have 30-40 MPH winds with wind blown sand so now Im in a controlled rush LOL.

here are the pics of the sides that show no bowing I can see, that 3/4 thick 2x2 canter brace does a good job I guess.
