Glass Aquarium Tanks

🪟 Glass Aquarium Tanks

Why Glass?
Glass tanks are the classic choice for aquariums — known for clarity, durability, and scratch resistance.

🔑 Key Features

  • High Clarity: Standard glass has a slight green tint; low-iron glass (aka “crystal” or “ultra-clear”) offers premium transparency.
  • Scratch Resistant: Glass is harder to scratch compared to acrylic.
  • Sturdy & Durable: Rigid construction holds shape, won’t bow.
  • Easy Maintenance: Stays clear with regular cleaning.
  • Affordable: Usually cheaper than acrylic tanks of the same size.

📏 Sizes Available

  • Small (5–20 gallons): Betta tanks, nano setups, desktops.
  • Medium (20–55 gallons): Community tanks, cichlids, planted aquascapes.
  • Large (75–125+ gallons): Showpieces, reef aquariums, monster fish setups.

🛠️ Considerations

  • Weight: Glass is heavier than acrylic — move carefully!
  • Break Risk: Can crack if dropped or impacted.
  • Shape Options: Most are standard rectangles, but bowfront and cube styles also exist.

✅ Best For

  • Beginner to advanced aquarists.
  • Display tanks where clarity & durability matter.
  • Planted aquascapes, cichlid setups, and reef-ready bases.
