Habitat - Indoor :: acrylic tanks

[wyeung]

i have 2 baby RES, they are about 2" long. when they were babies, they lived in a 10gal glass tank. and now i have bought a 110L plastic container as their tank. i had realized the plastic container started to bend due to the weight of the water. i have thought of getting an acrylic tank for them because it is much stronger and looks better. my question is how much (estimate) is a 50gal acrylic tank? the plastic container only costs $12.99. thx...

much higher than that check the news papers yard sales etc. sometimes lady luck is on your side. rubbermaid containers work well and kiddie pools Ive heard as well.

alot of turtle keepers stay away from acrylic because it scratches easier. res, especially captive res have sharp claws

they sell things that will get scratches out, but i hear it doesnt work well.

good luck!

I got my 29 gallon tank at a garage sale for 5 dollars US, tell me that's not a good deal

Wow 5 dollars, and i thiught i got a good deal. I payed $25 for a 30 gallon with a TON of stuff i couldnt even use. but she wanted to sell the whole thing all together and wouldnt just sell me the tank.
