acrylic aquarium

My Marineland 300G started to have its second seam failure, so I tossed it and picked up a second-hand custom 84" L x 36" H x 26" D acrylic aquarium with a lovely built-in cabinet system. It has taken me a while to get this set up. I finally did the mail plumbing, and in doing a leak test of...

I have a used 12g bowfront acrylic tank that I just replaced because I'm worried but I want to know whether this tank is still useable. I set it up a few weeks ago, cycled and put a few snails and a single fish in it (I prefer to understock). Anyway I had some initial issues before I got...

I bought this tank 2 years brand new. I am the only owner. I don’t recall the seem quality when I bought it. This is what the seem looks like now. There is only one seem on the side. It is a 28 gallon Sea Clear. It has been freshwater for 2 years on a level 20x20 stand. I am wanting to setup a...

Alright fishy friends…. Here we go again. Yes, another build thread. I’m so sorry guys, hopefully this is the last one (said every reefer ever before they upgraded -_-). many years ago I acquired my dream tank by happenstance when someone was breaking down their custom setup. 200 gal display...

Hey all! I have a 200 gal acrylic aquarium that I’ve had in storage and finally have the chance to set it back up! It has some very light scratches and I’m wondering what’s the best way to buff it?

Hi, I just bought my first never used acrylic aquarium and noticed something in the picture I captured. My question is: does this indicate a potentially weak structure in the aquarium? I dont care about how it looks. I only care if it is safe

Hello, I was offered a 464 litre (about 125 gallons) acrylic cube tank (75*75*90 lwh [in cm]) for free, (tank is on its side in the photo).The tank is of course scratched, although the scratches are not deep and I think could be removed with some elbow grease. That of course then isn't my...

Has anyone ever made an acrylic tank with a bottom colored anything aside from the standard black clear white or blue? I have some spare sheets laying around solid orange, fluorescent orange, solid yellow etc. I was wondering if anyone had ever experimented with using other colors of acrylic on...
