plexi tank>??????

ok so right now i have a 55 gallon glass tank, and someone by me is giving away a 100 gallon plexi tank they said, i have been wanting to upgrade, so would this be a good choice, is it easy to clean, keep clear, um what do i need 2 know?

 

There are scratch kits you want to look into as plexi scratches easier and you will learn to hate coraline algae because of this.

Pluses are they are very light weight. I have a 75 gallon 5 foot long plexi show tank that I can move around by myself. They also have a nice clarity when not scratched up.

 

Plexiglass tanks SCRATCH VERY EASALY !
care must be taken when cleaning the surface with "plexiglass" magnetic scrapers.

2, they tend to "bow" from the sides , i have seen them even break at the seams where they are glued togehter.

3, if this 100gal. is an old tank' that may be why it's being given to you ' so look closely .

it's free though , but beware' if it was over loaded with rock work' and abused or put on uneven surfaces' it could make you day a "wet one" very quickly .

 

Are you sure its plexi or acrylic? I personaly dont like acrylic, it scratches easily, but it weights less than glass. I prefer all glass.
