Description
SeaClear Acrylic Aquarium Combo
Constructed of the finest cast acrylic, a SeaClear Aquarium Combo will offer
years of dependable service. They're less than half the weight of comparably
sized glass tanks and their exceptional clarity allows unobstructed views
of the underwater world you create. They allow you to safely create a freshwater,
marine or reef environment. Includes a fluorescent hood with fixtures installed
(bulbs not included). Lifetime warranty against leakage.
The Acrylic Advantage
Aquariums made with acrylic are much lighter and stronger than glass. New
construction techniques allow for seams that are virtually leak-proof. Special
chemicals are used to weld the acrylic together to provide crystal clear,
very strong seams which are stronger than the material itself.
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.
