Acrylic Tanks vs. Glass

[Berserkr]

Yeah, I emailed him again tonight, so hopefully I will get a response. I already started stocking it in my head....There were alot of good deals, there's a free tank some tenant left behind, the landlord said it is around 150 gal give or take. I don't have space for something that wonderful, but if you have a uhaul and can go pick it up, all equipment comes with it! There you go Locorosa!

acrllic is the only way to go these days, its crystal clear, light as a feather, scratches can be buffed out, it can be heated into any shape, its wonderful material lol

I would definately prefer acrylic I suppose. If just for the weight difference. Can anyone give general dimensions on a 150 gal? Just to get an idea what I'm looking at. Maybe I can fit it in the living room...so many ideas!

I think one dimension is 5ftLx2ftWx2ftH.

standard 150 Gallon is 72 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 28 1/2

If glass, the empty weight is 338 lb, full weight is 1800.
