So how about a glass aquarium with no silicone?

I was just browsing The Green Machine when I came across this:

Why get a regular 60-P when you can get this! Anyone gonna get one?

and multiple
Bet it looks great, but the price is just
I personally couldn't justify spending that much on a glass box.....

 

[allan angus]

yes i can see 2,399 reasons why this wont be in my living room lol

Is that just the tank? I think i'd scape a goldfish bowl instead they have no silicone

 

[Alastair]

Ummmmmm id rather make my own acrylic 60. No silicone and cost about 45 pound to make.

Thats just ridiculous. I cant see anyone paying that.

 

[allan angus]

yes alister and every time it got a scratch u could afford to replace it ! the idea is good but i could buy a lot of tanks for what they are charging

 

[Andy D]

The thing is, you know all the followers in Japan are gonna get them!

 

[Andy Thurston]

They dont have massive shipping costs or green machine mark up to pay not to mention import duty

And for that price you get "each connection part has a little distortion"!

Ordering one of those would certainly see members of my family signing all the papers to get me sectioned.

I'm sorry Mr. Amano but this is just business. IMO a layout will look its best if it is a good layout, nothing to do with a tank without silicone. When I read these things I try to look old pictures of Dutch planted tanks and say to myself: mate, you need to learn a lot.

So how come there aren't any manufacturers who make acrylic nature aquariums? Does it really scratch so easily? As far as I know you can make really neat acrylic joints with glue instead of silicone...

I'm not sure if that would be a massive shock. I know you love your ADA

Ha! I was joking..

 

[Andy D]

Ha! I was joking..

Oh I was sure you were. For the moment....

that would have made a big hole in the house deposit. I'd like to see one in person though just to see how good the corners are, it could just be a moulded box thats been cut and polished, then he really would be "pulling your pants down"
