Custom Aquariums Delray Beach: Glass or Acrylic?

Many home and business owners can't decide whether they go for glass or acrylic aquariums. The truth is that both materials make a good aquarium. It only depends where they want to place it or how are they going to use the tank. Here are some of the significant differences between glass and acrylic aquariums.

• Acrylic is lighter than glass. This means it does not require extremely strong support. This is great for large aquariums.
• Glass can maintain its clarity for a long time while acrylic is more prone to scratches. Nevertheless, there are high-quality acrylic today that are scratch resistance and with clarity that can compete with that of glass.
• Glass easily breaks than acrylic. This makes it difficult to transport. On the other hand, acrylic may only break with big amount of impact.
