    Chipped hole, need advice.

    Need advice please! I was drilling a 2” hole today, chipped out at the very end. :( Hole is 4” from top 4” from side of back glass... should I trash this tank? Or is it repairable? I see no cracks radiating from hole, just scalloping. Marineland 120 XH, 12mm glass thickness. Thank you!

    Arowana hitting aquarium glass

    Hello, I am having trouble with my jardini arowana. He keeps hitting the glass of his aquarium too much, he has bruises all over his body. He is 30 cm, and his tank is 3X1X1,5 meters. He is alone in the tank, and he eats well. Is it possible to have too big of a tank?

    Tank choices.

    I'm looking into getting a new tank. I'm looking at a 100g,120g, or a 125g. My main question is, is acrylic worth the money? I can get a tank and stand for around 600 new in glass. Or I can spend about 850-900 to get just the tank in acrylic. A "clear for life" tank. But then I'd have to make...

They were intended to be used in a hockey rink and are extremely strong. The only problem is they have a slight green color to them. Have any of you used...
