Seams giving out.What were the Marineland issues
What do you mean?Still hate the way acrylic looks, but it sure is easy to move.
What do you mean?
My biggest gripe is the access panels on my 180. They’re tiny. Makes adding a 3D background nearly impossible and limits the hard scape dramatically
Fair enough. I don’t have a giant pleco, but have 6-10 baby to juvenile BNP and the Royal. It’s a low light tank, so no algae, and stays filled to the top so no hard water stains. Knock on wood, but haven’t scratched it at all working in it either. If you’re ever down my way, you’ll have to swing by. Honestly the scratchability is a fair trade off for how light and easy this was to move, and the peace of mind knowing it doesn’t have seals like my glass 120 that leakedThe clarity is just not there. Sure, maybe when it's brand new, but do you have a big pleco? Do you work much in the tank? Is there algae you need to get off of the panels? Are there hard water stains? Acrylic scratches easily and looks like plastic. I can generally spot an acrylic tank from across a room - they don't look the same as glass. Some folks may prefer the look of acrylic, I don't.
I found mine on Craigslist. It was an older gentleman who had tanks all over his home and meticulously maintained them. This thing was spotless when I got it. Stand, canopy, 4’ T8, and the tank cost me a grand though. Was a very hard bullet to biteKyle, where did you get your 180 from? my son is looking to buy a 125g or larger tank-glass or acylic
