Take the hood to your sink. Scrub with soapy water and scrape it off with a Tuffy or something like it. Sometimes I use a razor blade for the heavy build up. Be careful not to cut your self and to not cut the plastic of the hood. Rinse well. If you don’t want to use soap, can use vinegar.. Rinse well regardless of which you use.

Why Choose An Acrylic Aquarium For Your Fish


highqualityarticles.com Why Choose An Acrylic Aquarium For Your Fish Having an aquarium in your home is a nice addition. It brings aquatic beauty to any room in your house. From the smallest fish bowls to the most elaborate saltwater fish aquariums, aquariums are one of the best attention getters when you have visitors over for any occasion. Fish help you to relax and they teach us many things about the underwater world. One of the best types of aquariums to have in the home is the acrylic aquarium. Here are some reasons why you should consider an acrylic aquarium for your home. The Difference Is Noticeable There are many different types of aquariums on the market. However, the acrylic aquarium is one of the best because it is the clearest, lightest and strongest aquariums available.

Q&A: How much could I buy a 75 gallon all glass aquarium with a hood for?


Question by Sally: How much could I buy a 75 gallon all glass aquarium with a hood for?
All I want is the 75 gallon all glass aquarium and lighted hood, no extras. I want these both to be new. Also I would care to know the price of a 75 gallon acrylic aquarium. What about plexi glass. How much for the aquarium and how much for the hood?I just want a base price. I can negotiate with fish shop owners, how low tin I negotiate. How much are they at petco? I know petco has a $ 1 a gallon sale up to 55 gallons.Also could you give me the dimesions of a standard 55 gallon and a standard 75 gallon.

Answer by bettachris
my 55 gallon is 4 feet in length, 12 inches broad, and 20 inch highmy 75 is a corner tank so i dont have the specs on that.Anyway lets go back to question. All glass is cheaper than acrylic, Im not sure if you know the difference, but heres alitle bit about it.Acryilic is light, but gets damaged more easily. It is more expensive as well. Where glass is heavier, and less easily scratched.My hood for my 55 gallon was a 100 dollars by itself. I did buy my 55 gallon new, with a double stand for 88 dollars from my lfs.So that is just a general price range. For a brand new 75 with a hood you can expect the ball park number of 170-200, the hood being the most expensive part.
