Why Acrylic?

Acrylic Aquariums allow for some unique advantages over their glass counterparts:

• The thermal forming construction process enables acrylic to take on elegant shapes with fewer seams.

• LIFE-TIME Tenecor Manufacturer's Warranty - against leaking.

• Acrylic aquariums are engineered with appropriate thicknesses of acrylic so as to be structurally superior in every way.

• All seams are molecularly bonded (not silicone glued) next to invisible, and guaranteed fail safe (with proper setup, care, and maintenance) by the manufacturer's warranty.

• Acrylic aquariums are 17 times STRONGER and 50% LIGHTER than glass tanks.

• Acrylic is CLEARER than glass; and, unlike glass, can easily be polished to remove any scratches which may occur.

• Acrylic provides 20% superior insulation over glass.
