5 gallon acrylic Tank

[brad shawn]

Has anyone seen standard size acrylic aquariums in small sizes like a five gallon.i Successfuly drilled a five gallon aquarium for a refugium only to put a small crack on it when I was plumbing it in And filling it of course.... I’m Having a hard time sourcing anything.

General in small sizes acrylic has the same drawbacks but the advantages over glass are few at that size so I can’t recall seeing an acrylic tank that small unless it’s an all in one.

I would just pay the $15 and drill a glass one instead of paying $100 for acrylic.

Yea I’m gonna give it another shot eventually... the crack is above the waterline I “repaired” it IE buggered up silicone. It wasnt leaking yet im keeping close eye on it For the time being. Crack from top of bulkhead to the top of tank maybe 1 1/2 long
