When quality determines the choice, the choice is clear...  SeaClear & Clarity Plus Acrylic Aquariums Why Acrylic? The aquarium hobby is very unusual, since not many people really want an aquarium... what they really want are fish. To have tropical fish you need a box that holds water. That's where CASCO Acrylic Aquariums come in . . .Over the years, aquariums have been constructed of many different materials, including concrete, fiberglass and wood to name a few. The traditional method involves attaching glass panes together using either brass, aluminium, wood or plastic frames, or in some case no frames at all. All had one thing in common–dissimilar materials trying to seal well enough to keep the water in and the fish wet. It all worked well until the sealer dried out or cracked, and someone or something bumped the tank too hard . . . (whoops, crack, splash!). Somewhere, someone decided to try building an aquarium with acrylic, after all it was much lighter and stronger, and construction techniques allowed for seams that were virtually leak proof. Special chemicals are used to weld the acrylic together and this gives you crystal clear, very strong seams. Acrylic is such a wonderful material to work with because it can easily be bent into unusual and very different shapes, ones that cannot be duplicated with any other material. Over the years, acrylic has been improved and the earlier drawbacks have been virtually eliminated. It is now much harder to scratch and modern acrylic is made with a process called UV stabilization. What this means is that sunlight will not turn it yellow or any other color, for that matter. Clear stays clear and black stays black. Medications such as malachite green have no effect on the acrylic or the seams. CASCO Acrylic Aquariums are regarded as the highest quality acrylic aquariums in the world. Special care is taken with every aquarium to insure that it meets the standards with which the SeaClear and Clarity Plus names have become associated. Whether its one of our 8 gallon biOrbs or a 300+ gallon show aquarium, you can be assured that you own one of the finest aquariums in the world.
