Acrylic tanks

chudly · 12/03/2009, 02:05 PM

Was wondering who has owned both an acrylic tank and a Starfire glass tank?
Is the acrylic tank alot more clear than starfire glass?
I am looking at a 24x24x20 cube tank and am considering acrylic or starfire glass. I have owned a starfire glass tank in the past but have never seen or owned an acrylic tank before.

Also has anyone ever dealt with Envision Acrylics before? Spoke with someone over the phone, i am assuming it was James and they seemed very nice and helpful.

Thanks,
Chad

Im actually leak testing my advance acrylic sump right now. ive owned starfire and now acrylic. I think acrylic is noticably clearer. I reccomend going with john at advance acrylics. Low price and a great finished product. I showed him a video of an acrylic tank, and he made it look exactly the same. I thought I was looking at the tank in the video.
