Lifetime Aquariums are made of glass, which is exceptionally better than acrylic. Acrylic is more expensive than glass and is popular among custom aquarium makers. Unfortunately, acrylic has many great flaws. Acrylic aquariums scratch very easily, unlike glass aquariums. Light scratches can supposedly be buffed out, but scratches are …show more content…
still noticeable. Acrylic is also prone to yellowing. Acrylic will yellow over time from UV exposure. Some acrylic tanks claim to be 'UV Resistant' but the resistance will wear off, and the irreversible yellowing will begin. UV exposure also causes acrylic to become brittle, making your aquarium a liability. Eventually, this will lead your acrylic aquarium to crack and fail. However, glass does not suffer from these problems and will last for decades. Acrylic is porous which allows outside and inside bacteria, chemicals, etc. through the acrylic. This speeds up the acrylic's deterioration. Another drawback with acrylic, is that it is not as clear as glass. This is usually due to impurities and bowing. Acrylic is very flexible causing distorted images from bowing. Impurities are created when the acrylic is made thick, in an attempt to prevent bowing. Acrylic aquarium makers choose to use acrylic because it is easier to shape and easier to ship. Many custom aquariums made of acrylic can be made of glass, but they want to take the easy way out. The premium glass build of Lifetime Aquariums will truly last you a lifetime.
With Lifetime Aquariums you can choose your aquarium glass thickness, clarity, and tempering. You can choose from 1/4", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" glass. In general, most aquariums under 300 gallons are made of 1/2" glass and aquariums over 300 gallons have 3/4" glass. A unique feature that Lifetime aquariums provides is adjustable aquarium glass thickness for all panels. All Lifetime Aquariums will meet or beat industry glass pressure safety factors, and provide quality aquariums at the lowest cost. Lifetime aquariums also have the option for standard or ultra clear glass. Ultra clear glass is made to have better transparency that standard glass. Ultra clear glass has a lower iron content in the glass which makes it more transparent. Ultra clear glass has the same strength as standard glass, and this upgrade is significantly better than standard glass. [picture of comparison] Tempered glass is made by heating glass to an extreme temperature and cooling it quickly so that the outside of the glass cools faster than the inside. This causes tension in the glass making it 5 to 10 times stronger. Tempered glass can not be drilled, but customaquariums.com will drill all holes you want in the glass before the tempering process. Lifetime aquariums have the option to get your glass tempered, which makes the glass stronger, which allows your 300 gallon to have 1/2" glass instead of 3/4" glass. The multiple options offered on the Lifetime aquariums give a truly customized aquarium.
Lifetime aquariums come with a patent pending Anodized Marine Grade Aluminum frame. This special marine grade anodized aluminum is used to make ocean rated boats and ocean view skyscrapers. Marine Grade Anodized Aluminum make rigid, tough, and long-lasting frames that will not corrode like traditional plastic frames. The Anodized Aluminum frame makes stronger joints with better bonds in the aquarium. This increases aquarium strength and durability, making it even stronger than the competition. This is very useful when creating large aquariums. Many mass produced aquariums come with flawed plastic frames. Plastic frames will deteriorate when exposed to UV light and will cause the frame to become brittle and crack. Lifetime aquariums have a strong, patent pending center brace design that eliminates the possibility of a devastating aquarium frame failure, that many competitive plastic frames lack.
