SeaClear System II RTR Acrylic Aquarium System II Wet/Dry Filtration System The Acrylic Advantage In the old days, acrylic did have its drawbacks - it tended to scratch easily and over time sunlight caused the material to yellow. Acrylic has been improved over the years and the earlier drawbacks have been all but eliminated. Scratches can be removed or lightened from acrylic whereas a scratch on a glass aquarium can never be removed. Modern acrylic is made with a process called UV stabilization and is now much harder to scratch. Clear material stays clear, and black stays black. Sunlight or medications such as malachite green have no effect on the acrylic or the seams. Acrylic is 17 times stronger than glass and will flex instead of shatter - practically childproof - giving your fish a better chance to survive an earthquake (or a rampant three-year old with a baseball bat!). A blow that will break a glass aquarium may only scratch an acrylic one. Because the seams are stronger and the aquarium is more flexible, you can count on having an acrylic aquarium longer. It takes less energy to maintain stable water temperature in an acrylic aquarium due to it's superior insulation factor. Fish in a glass aquarium will get chilly when a heater goes out, while the fish in an acrylic aquarium will remain warm and toasty for a much longer period. Less than half the weight of a glass aquarium, an acrylic aquarium is easier to transport and setup. Additionally, the safety and sleek design achieved from bent corners and fewer seams are only possible with acrylic.
