I'd love to see one of these running.
I like the clean look of them, but I guess there's not a lot you could do to customise them & a daily cleaning routine may be needed to keep them looking good. I wonder if they would work well with deeper dimensions, say 48x30x24. How scratch resistant is acrylic compared to glass? . |

Go
I accidentally had one of these running last night. I took the vacuum pump off my CPR overflow while leaving the pump from the sump running. Air entered through the nipple on the top of the overflow breaking suction. When I came back into the room my Red Sea Max had water cascading over the top on 3 sides.
Looked nice except for all the water on the floor ________ honey oil Last edited by Brent F; 01-23-2011 at 06:31 PM. |

If you look at acrylic the wrong way it will scratch. On the other hand, the scratches are easier to buff out than glass scratches.
Dealing with coralline growing on the outside will also be an issue. And if you've got kids, forget it. As somebody mentioned, this is a high-end artistic presentation tank where form trumps function to a certain extent. People tend to pay a lot for this stuff - ever tried to bid on a Picasso which just hangs there? |
