What type of tank do I have

ScubaDrew · 09-20-2007, 11:30 AM

Feeling very newbie like here... I don't know how to tell if my tank is glass or acrylic.

Its got some scratches, so I'm thinking acrylic.

I need to ID my tank, hah.

how about a picture glass can scratch as well just takes more to do it'

AQTCJAK · 09-20-2007, 11:41 AM

If it is the bow front in your chronical it is glass

Amphibious · 09-20-2007, 11:51 AM

If you are reffering to the corner tank in your photos, I'd say glass. Glass scratchs too.

ScubaDrew · 09-20-2007, 11:59 AM

Yes, the bow in my chronical. DOH, that sucks.

thanks for the help guys.

AQTCJAK · 09-20-2007, 12:00 PM

how bad is it scratched?

ScubaDrew · 09-20-2007, 03:49 PM

Had to describe, but bad enough where I wish I knew how to look for it before I bought the tank. Not bad enough that I'm going to tear it down when I can't fix it.

ScubaDrew · 09-21-2007, 04:41 PM

of course the scratches are right in the front of the tank...

My bowfront is glass too. I have some scratches from when I arranged the LR. I've read about ways to get rid of the scratches if you are willing to empty your tank. I'll live with the scratches.
