Benefits of Glass Aquariums
There are two main types of aquariums: glass and acrylic. Because acrylic aquariums are often more costly, many believe them to be the better option. But glass aquariums come with a ton of advantages that acrylic aquariums don’t have.
Here are several reasons why glass aquariums could be the right choice for you:
- Clarity
Acrylic aquariums lose clarity over time. This is because the chemicals used during tank and light maintenance affect the plastic materials of which acrylic is made. This is not an issue with glass aquariums. Since the chemicals do not affect glass, these aquariums maintain their clarity and beauty for much longer. - Resistant to scratches
Another factor that helps glass aquariums maintain their beauty longer is their resistance to scratches. The brittle quality of glass makes it difficult to scratch. - Easier to Clean
Because glass is harder and more scratch resistant it is also easier to clean. You can use metal scrapers on glass that make removing hard algae a breeze. With acrylic aquariums you can only use soft plastic scrapers to remove hard algae which makes cleaning your aquarium much more difficult and in some cases almost impossible. - Cheaper
They are cheaper than their counterparts due to the ease of manufacture. This makes them perfect for those working within a limited budget. - Market popularity
Since glass has been used to make aquariums for a long time, glass aquariums are very popular. This makes it easy for you to find whatever accessories you need, such as a glass aquarium lid.
Factors to Consider When Buying an Aquarium
If you are looking to buy a new glass aquarium, there are several factors you should consider. These include:
- Stands
The weight of your aquarium will determine where exactly you can place them. When filled with water, glass aquariums can be heavy. For instance, when filled, a 20-gallon glass aquarium could weigh about 225 pounds. If you intend to get an aquarium that’s less than 15 gallons, you can place it on any sturdy piece of furniture you might have. Larger aquariums, on the other hand, will require you to buy stands for more sturdy support. - Size
If you are unfamiliar with fish care, water chemistry, or startup cycles, then we recommend getting an aquarium above 20 gallons. This is because any errors made will be less lethal to the tank as a whole. You should also consider the number and size of fish you intend to have. Keep in mind the general rule of having one inch of fish for every net gallon of water. - Shape
Another factor to consider is the aquarium’s shape. Opting for long aquariums with large surface areas will support more fish because this provides them with more oxygen and more room to swim.
