OMG, you opened me up! You love me... you really, really love me! *sniff*

Right on!

Awesome. :)

Thanks

Nice!

Thanks for watching Nino.

Right on Dioses! Thanks for watching!

👍

Haha time to tetris your living room up?

They are, aren't they. :)

Yeh, that happens, the taller the tank, the more force it's going to exert on the walls of the glass. Failure are usually due to bad or poor silicon

Exactly this is what people in through hobby don’t plan for the cracked, breaks and leaks that eventually happen with glass tanks

Thanks for your vote!

Yeh, I get funky around messing with glass myself!

You have to consider the height on the tank as well as anything between the light and plant and that's harder to determine exactly without a meter

For sure!

Nice, thanks for the comment.

Yeh, glass is pretty but I hate the part where you have to get 50 people to come help you move it. lol

Thanks for the share!

Thanks fro posting your insights!

Well, if an earthquake can take down an aquarium, it'll still fall over regardless but I'm assuming you're looking to mitigate broken glass if it ever happened to be that big?

The Water Box Chung that is just one of the reasons why I want an acrylic aquarium tank I want a tank that is 6 feet long 2 feet high and 30 inches wide so I can Aquascape with big rocks and plenty of aquatic plants and fish I don't mind if it is on the floor it will be easier to maintain it will be in my bedroom and I don't have to worry about glass cutting me in half when I try to run out of my house when another earthquake hits P.R. What is your advice Chung

The Water Box the earthquake was that big and a lot of people lost their lives and homes in P.R. and we still get tremors that comes and goes once and while in 1996 hurricane George hit the Island of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 in 2016 Puerto Rico got hit by 2 hurricanes,hurricane Erma and hurricane Maria which was the largest and strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico and with everything that is happening now I need my dream tank and this hobby and my fish family support more than ever Chung I hope that you and your family and your love ones are safe,healthy and happy ❤️love ✌️peace and 😊happiness ‼️💦📦💦🌱🐌🦐🐟

No, that makes sense. As for advice, go acrylic then. I'd probably try and DIY one honestly with something that big. Might be chaeper.

The Water Box I knew you would say something like that Chung thank you for your advice and your knowledge,wisdom and understanding and for your support thank you Chung

Cool. good luck

That's really up to you. YHou have to weight the pros and cons of either and see what fits you best.

I know but I can't cover every single location in the world unfortunately.

Just keep on doing your thing and I’ll keep watching. My comment was more like an encouragement fo you to let you know that your videos are seen outside the USA. Please change nothing :). Btw, I like glass aquarium. Not sure if you even can get acrylic aquariums overhere.

@@jeffp2935 All good! :) ?They don't have acrylic over there at all?

@@TheWaterBox I did a search. There are a few nano aquaria with exotic shapes like BiOrp which are being sold. I believe those are acrylic. For traditional shapes it is all glass. There are a few companies that build costum tanks. Honestly myself I never considered buying a plastic/acrylic tank. The only thing I think about that could be a possible advantage is the light refraction. I’ve got a Aqualantis Elegance 80 and looked from the corner light refracts differently through the side compared to the front. That makes me see the same fish twice, slightly bigger watched through the side glass. Also, there is a bit of a mirror effect. I see the fish twice but I am not sure if the fish sees a reflection of itself. I have a feeling that this makes them swim up and down a lot. I can imagine that a Acrylic aquarium has a different light refraction, either positive or negative compared to a glass aquarium. I can’t compare that difference. I know aquariums are being sold with special white glass. Haven’t seen one in real life. The brand name is Ila I believe and they cost a lot, like 5 times more expensive. Fanatical aquascapers buy them as the light getting in and out is near perfect. Maybe you can tell me if light refracts differently?

@@jeffp2935 Through the glass itself??

Yeh, that's super annoying. :/

Good point!

Haha

👍

Thanks for sharing! :)

Right on

Good point!

Good insight! :) Thanks for sharing!

👍

Thanks for sharing!

Uh, yeh, you don't use alcohol (or even acetone) on acrylic because it can dissolve the polymer chains acrylic.

Great point!

Makes sense!

Haha

LOL! Good point! But maybe that person has trust problems? Ya know, when he/she was young, the BFF was responsible for the death of his/her parent when he/she built a death ray to stage for world domination but was ultimately thawed by said person.
