Question by quirkylennings: Unsure about quality of rectanglular acrylic tank?
I believe the brand is “All Glass Aquariums”. It is rectangular in shape, and acrylic, it is made with flat panes and seems to be put together with some sort of hard glue in the corners. Because of this glue, I am unsure about the quality of this tank. To anyone who may have had (or does have) this type of tank, is it reliable? Are there any set backs to this type of tank? Thank you in advance.

Answer by nosoop4u246
I would NOT buy an acrylic tank with siliconed panes… One of the biggest appeals of an acrylic tank is the seamless corners. Also, silicone doesn’t bond well to acrylic like to does to glaze. I would crack, but do make sure it is an acrylic tank rather than glass… I don’t believe All GLASS makes acrylic tanks.Silicone in a glass aquarium: http://www.jonolavsakvarium.com/eng_diy/tankbuilding2006/th_glass02.jpgEDIT: I stand corrected. All Glass makes an acrylic kit, but it is very small (about 2.5 gallons). However, it is seamless, meaning it’s just one patched of acrylic bent into the sides, and a second for the bottom.

Question by : How much does it cost for the equipment for a saltwater fish tank aquarium?
Just the tank, filters, etc. Not the fish or the live rock. Thanks!!!!For a 36 gallon tank, with decent lighting, and good filters.

Answer by Mike
It’s like asking how much an engine for a car cost. How big is it and how much performance are you wanting. Do you wand moderate lighting on a 20 gallon long for about $ 100+ or do you want intense lighting on a 210 gallon that could cost you $ 1000+My 20 gallon long is a very basic tank that got a lot of it’s gear as hand-me-downs from my 36 gallon beast.The price of this is…The glass… $ 30heater…. $ 25Filter…. $ 30Filter turned into refugium… $ 50Powerhead… $ 25Light fixture.. $ 100http://img546.imageshack.us/f/img11318582808.jpg/
