I apologize if this has been discussed, but I’ve been unable to see opinions for this specific size of tank. I’ve never had an acrylic aquarium and am currently getting ready to make a purchase. I am concerned with bowing. I’ve looked at all the major manufacturers and for the 96x24x24 it seems the standard is 1/2 inch acrylic. When reviewing the calculators, it states that up to 24 inches tall is 1/2 inch and 24+ inches high is 3/4+. Since 24 inches is on the high end, and this is an 8 foot long aquarium…what’s my best option?
1. I am curious if anyone here has one of the 96x24x24 with the standard 1/2 inch thickness and has it bowed?
2. Opinions - Should I just make the customization change to 3/4 inch acrylic and call it a day?
I am planning on having this tank for at least 20 years.
thank you.
