Traditionally all tanks were made of glass. The heaviness, view distortion, and ease of cracking and breaking encouraged aquarium designers to look towards an alternative to glass. The result is a tank construction consisting of acrylic materials. Acrylic tanks have now become the norm for large museum quality aquariums. These types of tanks have become popular in high end hotels, restaurants, casinos and office buildings. There are several benefits to using acrylic aquariums rather than the traditional glass tanks that were most popular in the past.
Advantages to Acrylic Fish Tanks:
- More interesting shapes available for custom saltwater aquariums
- Less distortion and more clarity
- Lightweight and durable
- Curved corners and lack of brackets provide better views
- Easier to cut necessary holes
