2. float glass. The glass is smooth, even on both sides, and the ripples disappear. Dark green, smooth and ripple-free, with good perspective. The characteristics of float glass make it have certain toughness, which is more suitable for making ecological fish tanks.
3. Tempered glass. The biggest feature of tempered glass is safety. This kind of glass can be broken into honeycomb particles, which can avoid harm to human body. Unfortunately, tempered glass can no longer be cut, drilled, slotted, etc. Because the glass is broken into honeycomb particles, it can't be repaired at all, so it is not recommended to use it in aquarium.
4. Acrylic glass. I have to say that many manufacturers and fishermen who make custom fish tanks like to use it to make fish tanks, which is similar to a glass material between plexiglass and ordinary glass. Originally used in airplanes, the early corner fish tanks were mostly made of acrylic glass, which was light in weight and strong in toughness, and had to be integrated, easy to scratch and low in transparency.
5. Plexiglass. It is an important thermoplastic developed earlier and relatively a new material. It has good transparency, chemical stability and is easy to dye and process, but its strength is low. Can be used for processing small ecological fish tanks for aquariums.
On the surface, these materials can be used to make fish tanks with certain transparency and toughness, but the subtle characteristics of the materials determine whether they are suitable for making ecological fish tanks.
