It is believed that the first aquariums were commissioned and built in the 18th century. From that
date until approximately 30 years ago,
glass was the only material that aquariums were built from. Still today many smaller, traditional systems are glass aquariums and for good reason. Glass aquariums are
cheaper to build and therefore purchase than their acrylic counterparts and are much more resistant to scratches. Glass aquariums also dissipate heat much quicker making them
ideal for cold-water fish or summer months.
Glass aquariums can last a lifetime barring any major accidents but because the glass is so heavy moving glass aquariums once they are in place can be incredibly
difficult. Whether you require a glass aquarium or an acrylic one will depend on the design, situation and your budget. Systems Unlimited would be more than happy to discuss
all of your requirements and give you recommendations based on your precise requirements. By working together in this way it is possible to get the exact aquarium you want.
