Scratchless Acrylic Tanks.....
 
Thats right, an acrylic tank that you can run a key against and not sweat about it, extremely strong, regular cell cast acrylic clarity, no seams at all, they will be manufactured as 1 piece units in a mold....
what Im wondering is what are some sizes you would like to see available.....
new technology is great.....(this is not coated acrylic)
Ill have sample material pics next week
Thanks: Kyle

I don't know much about acrylic tanks. If they were one-piece/seamless, I imagine they would be worth their salt. Clear, light, and virtually leak-proof. Sounds like a nice product.

Forgive me for being skeptical but it sounds too good to be true.

lol, yeah, and to top it off, it wont be much more expensive than a regular acrylic tank of the same size....
The only real drawback to an acrylic tank is that they scratch, this will solve that problem
we will have some standard sizes to be determined, including cylinders at a very tempting price point
let me know what sizes and shapes you would like to see...
Thanks

I think that the market for smaller acrylic tanks is fairly limited (just my thoughts) so I'd think that you'd be looking at 120 gallon and larger. \

For smaller tanks we were thinking of
24x24x24
36x24x24
36x30x30
48x24x24
48x24x30
48x30x30
60x24x30
60x30x30
72x24x30
72x30x30
72x30x36
What sizes do you folks want to see? and anything else you can come up with. these would be beautiful show tanks with crystal clear clarity and no seams anywhere

72x24x30

I like this size because I am planning to order something like that in the next few months.

But, the thing I dislike about acrylic tanks it the top with 50% of the top closed. With the single piece tanks have the same acrylic tops or will they have more open space?

UnderWorldAquatics 01-21-2004 02:50 AM

the tanks will be almost all open, like euro bracing, no little cut outs so you have to hammer your rock apart to fit it in...

Right now I have a 36"X18"X18". I like that depth for lighting purposes. If I were to replace the tank, I would not want to go deeper. :rolleyes:

Bob, see your post just made me start to get excited about my new tank... Thanks
