Hi, I have multiple questions after watching your video. 1. Just that glue is enough to tolerate the water pressure in the long run? 2. How about the black molds built in the tank in the corners of the acrylic by the time? 3. I believe that the light will not reflect more in the acrylic, so how better is it compared to the glass tank? Did you try and experience it? 4. And lastly, acrylic is easier to get scratches on while cleaning the tank compared to glass. Thanks
@@mubasheer5584 Hi. Thank you for the visit. 1. A tank of this size can tolerate the pressure. However, I had also made a 120-liter acrylic tank. That tank is also currently going well. You can see in the previous video of that. But I don't recommend making a big tank this way. 2. I use microfiber cloth for all of my acrylic tanks. Works fine. Here is my maintaining video ruclips.net/video/nx6clRV_7MI/видео.html 3. Never felt that. 4. Correct. yes, they are prone to scratching. Stay tuned.
Nice DIY ideas. Thanks for sharing. Maybe we can customise the size to fit in some empty space we have on our DIY project can add more tanks on the aquarium stand.
Kya hum is box ka use slow sand filter banna ne me kar sakte hai .usme hame coal ,sand,gravel,medium stones ka use karna hai to iska strength itna ho jayega
I was thinking the exact same thing. All the panels can't be the same length. 2 of them need to be 10 mm short unless it's an aquarium kit of 5 sheets (diy style)
Dear Kartikeyan: The clarity of acrylic is very nice. You make using it to build aquaria look very easy. To me, aquascapes with black backdrops and substrates look best. Only live aquatic plants will do. I look forward to seeing your work on this project. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Thank you sir for your visit 🤝🤝... I really appreciate you like this tank. Yes, I find making acrylic tank is easy. Will also try and make one glass aquarium one day. As of now, will make a nano planted setup out of this tank. Stay tuned. Thankyou
Dear Kartikeyan: I believe that it would be very difficult to work glass. I have seen videos of re-caulking glass aquaria. However, these were old tanks. I think it best to purchase a pristine tank, if you can afford it. With acrylic, one can start with spotless sheets, rather cheaply. But, the aquarist must use extra care to avoid scratching this material. Thank you for continuing to share your, terrific hobby on RUclips. Sincerely, Brinegar
@@ejbrinegar I will visit this channel🤝🤝. Previously when I started YT. I was decided to build glass aquarium. But I figured acrylic aquarium build videos are very less in YT, so I decide to make one and as of now my first acrylic aquarium build got 14k approx views which is not bad🤔.
I just RUclips to connect with other aquarists. You have over 1000 subscribers. I believe if you post at least one video each week and leave nice comments on lots of Channels, in the aquarist hobby niche, you will be able to grow your Channel, quickly and perhaps even monetize.
@@LushAqua there was supposed to be a question mark at the end of that comment, ask I meant it to be asking you if you sealed with silicon after it was assembled. It looked like there was beads of silicone in the bottom seams and going up the corner seams until about a 1/2 from the top. That's why I was asking. Does this acrylic bonding glue dry into like a "bead" look, or am I just seeing shit. Sorry, didn't mean to sound accusatory.
@@LushAqua about 7:15 in you can see the seams and glue beads or whatever you call it. I guess I didn't expect for the acrylic adhesive to look like that when it's dry.
@@michaelbrown1015 I really appreciate you watch this video thoroughly. The point which you noted is correct but that is not silicon. When the project was done I went back and place the tank on its edge and apply one more round of acrylic glue on every egde from inside. That was unnecessary and didn't incorporate that in video(video was getting really long). I wanted my tank to be extra sturdy because I have a transferable job. Thank you. Stay tuned🤝🤝

Look at my plastic box ….amazing . You glued some plastic together . Describe to us how hard that was and how long it took you for your schooling to achieve such feats of manual dexterity and big brain computations to deliver into us a square plastic box with a light .
Thankyou for your visit and time. Personally I find it is really easy to make an acrylic aquarium. This is a step by step video, no dexterity delivered. As of now this tank is a beautiful home to 70-100 shrimplets ruclips.net/video/UbatwTA4n7o/видео.html

Silicone doesn’t bond to acrylics very well

Sorry for late reply. I'm not expert on making sand filters. Not sure about the strength.
which is o best acrylic que not arranha?
Hello, would this type of collage work for a 150 liter acrylic aquarium?
Hi there.. For 150 litres minimum thickness of acrylic should be 8mm..stay tuned.. 🤝🤝
Thanks for sharing. Does that work for high temperatures (
70°c is a high temperature. I'm not expert but i think 5mm acrylic will bend in long run.
Im looking to find where i can get cell cast clear acrylic sheets i am trying to make multiple size aquariums can you help ?
Plexiglass shops are very rear... You can ask your local glass fabricator. They will help you find the acrylic shop.
Klau AQ bikin dulu frame kotak seukuran aquarium yang kita inginkan ,.framenya dari bekas triplek atau multi,.
Google is translating "if AQ first makes a box frame the size of an aquarium we want the frame from used plywood or multi"
I exactly don't understand the question. I request you to please elaborate the question.
I like it, but how did it line up if they're all the same size?
Line up? Please elaborate..

@@jaybelin7966 correct, two of them are 10mm short. Stay tuned..
@@jaybelin7966 Exactly. Maybe the kit takes that into consideration. Or he cut it and didn't tell us.
Can we use this box for drinking water
Sure.. It can be use

Can i use ordinary cyanoacrylate super glue?
I guide you to use cyanoacrylate grade for acrylics only. Rest of them can create fumes. which give smudge on acrylic sheet
@@LushAqua thank you
What is the thickness of acrylic sheet
Thank you for the visit.. It's 5mm
From where did you purchased the acrylic sheets
Online?? If yes then please mention the website name
Not purchased online...
Search for nearest acrylic/plexiglass shop near you or contact nearest glass shop they will locate the acrylic shop for you.
@@LushAqua Ohk I will definitely try to find👍👍👍
@@LushAqua are you from delhi??
How much it costs??
