Acrylic to Glass

Recommended Posts

Last week just picked up my new 120 Aqueon dual MegaFlow glass aquarium. I've had a 120 acrylic set up for about 2yrs. I decided to switch to glass because my acrylic tank got so scratch up in 2 years. The only thing that worries me is that the glass is heavier than acrylic. But I don't have to worry about scratching the tank when I clean now. I really like having a glass tank now.

Thanks, I actually used the same sand. But I did sift the sand through a strainer to get out the big pieces. It took me all weekend to do the change but it was all worth it. I would like to say thanks to diverdown (Jay) for his help.

During the moving I lost a blackcap basslet and a cleaner shrimp. My blackcap jumped out of the 30 gallon garbage can. I didn't know the could jump that high, the garbage can was only a 1/4 full. He jumped about 30" in. +. The cleaner shrimp is just MIA. Not bad but I really miss my blackcap.
