  1. Glass or Acrylic

    Actually it's more that the public doesn't respect the outside. That picture that is posted is from the public viewing side, so no doubt the outside is extremely scratched up from kids pressing themselves and their zippers/etc against it.
  2. Upgrading tank - 180 plexi vs 220 glass, opinions needed

    Aye...lightness is definitely an issue. I have a 24" deep tank right now and have absolutely no problem reaching the bottom with it. A 27" won't be a problem either, although a 30" might start pushing it :> Thanks for the advice :)
  3. Upgrading tank - 180 plexi vs 220 glass, opinions needed

    Ooof...US$1900 is about CA$3000. Higher than I want to spend right now :> Long tank..must be nice :) I'll see how Interamerican's prices compare to the 220 I can get locally for MRSP of CA$1300 (before haggling that is). CA$1300 is about US$800 right now.
