Why Acrylic Aquariums?Lighter - Acrylic is less than half the weight of glass. It's easier to ship, move, and set up.Stronger - Acrylic is 17 times stronger than glass. It will not shatter, crack, or leak like glass can. Clearer - Acrylic allows 22% more light to pass through than glass. Your fish will look sharper and brighter in an acrylic aquarium. Insulates Better - Acrylic insulates 20% better than glass. Acrylic controls water temperature fluctuations, providing a more stable, stress free environment for your fish. If you have a power failure, your acrylic aquarium will take much longer to cool down than a glass aquarium. Virtually Seamless - Acrylic seams are molecular bonds and actually stronger than the acrylic itself. Acrylic seams are polished and nearly invisible. You will not have the problem of leaks or seams splitting which is an inherent problem with glass tanks. Flexible - Acrylic is less rigid than glass. If accidentally bumped into the chance of an acrylic aquarium breaking is much less than its glass and if damaged it would crack slightly as opposed to exploding. Acrylic is easily refinished - If glass scratches it can not be repaired. Acrylic can be repaired with a variety of scratch removal kits. Versatile Ð Acrylic aquariums are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use. Still not convinced...? Then ask yourself this, why do virtually all public aquariums use acrylic aquariums for their exhibits?
