Please don't tell my 32 year old tanks this!
Seems that it is all up to the install and keeping them dry as many have mentioned above. My survey ten years ago showed them to be healthy and no issues. The tanks on my Ocean Alexander are wrapped in insulation which I imagine cuts down on condensation.
