JLake Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 HAve you seen a acrylic tank before? Super clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 what is the appeal of acrylic tanks? they seem to be way more money, and doesnt acrylic turn yellow over time? It doesn't turn yellow. I have a glass tank in the same room and the difference in clarity is quite astonishing. Acrylic is also light weight so its good for taller and larger tanks. Cost wise you are better off with a glass tank if its smaller than 230 gallons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
