Hi all, I messaged Planet Aquarium and didnt hear back last week and was wondering if anyone knew what the material was for the planet aquarium 90g back panel, the front 3 panels are glass for sure, but the description is cryptic on the back panel, it's black. I got my tank used from someone and they didn't specify either. I think it's from the crystalline line. I'm trying to figure out if I can use mag reef rocks on the back panel, and i dont think magnets are acrylic safe... thanks in advance!

Planet builds all glass tanks. The back panel won't be low iron but otherwise it's the same as the other 3 sides re: thickness, etc.

The black is just vinyl

That makes sense! I didnt think people made hybrid glass/acrylic tanks, but i've been out of reefing for 15 years and didn't know if that was a new thing now or something. Thank you!

It is just a black sheet taped on the back panel. Mine came in with one of the taped corners not quite glued all the way, you can clearly see mine is it taped on, not painted.
