A fish tank is something that many families will configure. A beautiful fish tank with a few cute little fishes can bring a lot of vitality to the whole family. At the same time, it can also be a prosperous wealth in Feng Shui. effect.

　　So, what are the advantages, disadvantages, and benefits of acrylic fish tanks and glass fish tanks? Let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic fish tanks and glass fish tanks! And what are the benefits of acrylic fish tanks?

　　 There are many kinds of fish tanks on the market at present, and the price difference is relatively large. Let us understand the advantages, disadvantages, and benefits of acrylic fish tanks and glass fish tanks from eight aspects? And what are the benefits of acrylic fish tanks?

Advantages of acrylic fish tank-high water level

    Acrylic fish tanks are lighter in specific gravity, with a specific gravity of 1200kg per cubic meter and 2500kg for glass. Acrylic fish tanks are lighter.

Advantages of acrylic fish tank-bulky and not under pressure

    　Due to the influence of the process, the thickness of the glass is 19+19 laminated glass. According to the standard of the aquarium engineering industry, it is limited to deep water fish tanks below 1.5 meters (mostly acrylic materials over 1.5 meters).

     Many hobbies may say that glass can be tempered to increase its strength. In fact, after tempering, it also increases the glass explosion index (there is a possibility of self-explosion), and once the glass is broken, the glass ballast splashed around, it can be imagined.

    　However, acrylic fish tanks in China can be made as an integrated board 150mm thick, and the pressure resistance of the acrylic body is stronger than that of glass (in the aquarium engineering industry, it is 16 times the pressure resistance of glass), because of its own flexibility. Even the composite board can be made 500mm thick (similar to laminating in simple terms, but the process is completely two concepts)

   　The transparency of the ordinary glass is 83%, the transparency of the ultra-white glass is 91%, and the transparency of the acrylic glass is about 92%-96%. However, there are not many shoddy acrylic products (acrylic regrind) on the market.

　　 And different manufacturers have different production processes of the acrylic sheets (production process, polishing, etc.), the transparency will be different.

   　 In fact, in terms of shape, the glass bending process is subject to many restrictions, such as the size of the glass sheet (normally 6 meters * 3 meters), the bending furnace being too small (different sizes of different processors) and many other reasons are not as good as acrylic fish tanks.

   Acrylic fish tank plates, our company can customize to 3 meters * 9 meters large plates, not to mention hot bending, because it has a certain degree of flexibility, the hot bending shape is much more convenient than glass, it can be said that the water tank is a little more complicated Basically all acrylic.

Advantages and disadvantages of acrylic fish tank-plasticity

    This is mainly reflected in the tropical fish tank. Because of the thickness of the material and the density, the insulation performance of the glass aquarium is not inferior to that of the aquarium.

     “Glass is afraid of smashing, and acrylic is afraid of scratching.” In fact, from this point, it can be said that acrylic aquariums are inferior to glass. This is mainly reflected in the later maintenance of the aquarium. When cleaning the inner and outer walls of the aquarium, the acrylic aquarium is prone to scratches, so it is best for the acrylic aquarium to be cleaned and maintained by a professional team.

   　 But acrylic also has its own advantages, that is, it is not afraid of scratches, because of its own thickness, we can completely restore it after polishing.

　　 But the glass is not good. After the glass is scratched, there is no way to restore it to its original state.

    　Glassfish tanks are normally formed by bonding with glass glue. Even the best bonding master, the joints are obvious. In the later stage of fish farming, the glass glue at the bonding is easy to grow green algae and turn black.

    　 Acrylic uses seamless splicing. It means that acrylic materials are used to splice the panels. If you don’t look for it carefully after slicing, you don’t know where the seams are. The surface of the splicing joint is smooth, and its fastness is as if it were integrally formed, and it is unbreakable.

Advantages and disadvantages of the acrylic fish tank-splicing process

     Because of various reasons for acrylic fish tanks, the price of acrylic fish tanks is naturally many times higher than that of glassfish tanks (Acrylic fish tanks are calculated by kg, and glass is calculated by square meters). If you want to know more about the price of acrylic fish tanks, please call UC Acrylic.

Advantages and disadvantages of acrylic fish tank-price problem

   　 The abrasion resistance of the glass aquarium is very good. Generally speaking, there will be no scratches when cleaning, but it also has various shortcomings.

   　 Of course, there are many low-quality acrylic fish tanks on the market. These fish tanks are new and very good, light in weight, not prone to leaks, and cheap. The surface of inferior acrylic fish tanks is generally not smooth and clean, and the dirt is not easy to clean. If you wipe it with a harder thing, it is easy to scratch. Because of its low price, many people still buy it.

The scratches on the transparent acrylic sheet will not be visible if you don’t check it carefully. If you look closely, you can see many small scratches. Is there a way to effectively dispose of them?

Under normal circumstances, use a dry cloth dipped in toothpaste to wipe small scratches directly, which can be restored by rubbing back and forth several times. But deeper scratches are not easy to handle.

1. First, go to the hardware store to buy the best sandpaper and add water to smooth out the scratches and surrounding area.

2. Rinse it off, then polish it with a dry cloth dipped in toothpaste.

3. If you can still scratch after polishing with toothpaste, it means that the water sandpaper is not enough. Please do it again.

Suggest:

1. After grinding water sandpaper, the surface will become fuzzy, and the gloss will be restored after polishing with toothpaste.

2. The degree of grinding with water sandpaper depends on the depth of the scratch.

3. If there is an electric car waxing machine for polishing toothpaste, it will speed up the polishing.

4. If it is only slightly scratched, it can be polished with a waxer and toothpaste.

　　 toothpaste contains abrasives and is a very fine abrasive. Transparent acrylic storage uses toothpaste instead of grinding and polishing. Polishing requires patience. It is recommended to use a car waxer or electric drill to install the flat wheel, and then install the non-woven fabric or fine texture cloth. Instead of grinding the abrasive sheet, first, grind at a low speed and then polish at a medium speed, but be sure to fix it and live your acrylic fish tank. If the scratches are deep, I suggest you look for us for polishing!
