If you ever wanted to improve your Display Tank's health while having something else wonderful to look at, consider adding a 20 gallon lagoon or refugium tank. Now's the perfect time while this is on sale. This tank is super if you want to grow your own healthly refugium as one of our esteemed members, Patrick (Subsea) has demonstrated in his multiple lagoon threads and postings.

And glasscages.com sets the standard for drop dead gorgeous Acrylic tanks. Less distortion than glass.

Here's what you're getting:

20 Gallon Acrylic tank from glasscages.com with black back (paid $159 11/3/11)

- email from vendor: http://img1.uploadsc...351835-orig.png

(very clean tank, a few small scratches, but nothing large)

This tank is the PERFECT refugium or lagoon tank because it has dual 1" bulkheads already drilled AND installed! Two bulkhead overflows = added security. If one clogs, the other still works!

Plus, it comes with PVC pipes as well.

All of this for only $55. The bulkheads alone will cost you close to $40

It won't last long. PM me and PayPal holds it until you can pick it up.

There are many advantages to owning acrylic versus glass when it comes to aquariums.

  • Because of the way it is molded, acrylic can be formed into any shape or size of aquarium whereas glass has many limitations. Shapes like cylinders, hexagons, and pentagons create a more decorative look. This enhances what is already a living piece of art even further.
  • The view through acrylic is far greater because there is less distortion than in glass. Seawater and acrylic have almost the same refractive light index. This allows your vision of the life inside to be as realistic as possible.
  • Plumbing and filtration needs can be accommodated for easily in acrylic tanks because acrylic is much easier to cut than glass.
  • Acrylic is lightweight, about half of the weight of glass. This allows for easier movement and transportation of the aquarium.
  • Acrylic tanks are very durable and won’t crack or break like glass can. (On the other hand it is true that acrylic can scratch, but the scratches can be removed easily. If you are careful with cleaning, you should not have any problems.)

There are also many benefits for the life within the aquarium when it comes to acrylic.

The greatest advantage would be the insulation factor. Acrylic tanks retain 20% more heat than glass tanks do. This allows for a more consistent water temperature for your fish.

In addition acrylic allows better penetration of light which is especially important for reef tank systems that rely on light for growth. Furthermore the ability for acrylic to take any form is a huge luxury for your fish and aquatic life. Acrylic aquariums can be made much larger than glass without the requirement of seams and bracing. The more space your fish have to swim in, the happier they will be.

Acrylic fish tanks are a great investment that will long outlive glass tanks while being more functional and decorative. Aquariums are a great addition to any home or business. They have the unique ability to capture the attention of every passerby and allow them a small escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Choose an acrylic aquarium as a lifelong favor to yourself and your fish.
