I'm, at the dreaming/planning stage. I'm looking into materials and cost and as I read I'm thinking of making a tank with Glass vertical panels and a thick acrylic bottom. The whole thing is structurally held together by silicone and that bonds well to both. I figure that might take away some...

Hello. I have a small 6 gal. acrylic aquarium. I have two Ottos who are busy cleaning everything in the tank but the acrylic. I figured they just love algae on live plants and rocks better. I bought two Mystery Snails who do the same. I thought for sure they would go for the now abundant...
