    Acrylic or glass for bowfront?

    Acrylic or glass for bowfront?

    I would like to hear some opinions from you all since you seem to be way more experienced than me. I have only had glass tanks, so would like to know if it's better/safer to have an acrylic bowfront than a glass one? It's an 80g, 4yrs. old. What do you think? Also, is that too old or does it...

    Do I soak like the silversides in garlic or the frozen cubes? What liquid vitamin is good? Oh! And do you buy your mussels from the seafood dept at the store or a pet store? Thanks again!

    Glad to see your thread, as I just received my order last thursday and out of the 5 scarlet crabs, 1 was out of the shell dead on arrival and 2 more died that night, then I had the same experience you did with the Astrea snails, I was really disappointed.

    I have no idea why it's so high, never had a prob before. I will do another w/c tonite too. When I woke up this morning he was back to his old spot, back to eating and preying again, and seems perfectly fine now, his legs appear to be healing, but not sure about the hole in the top...
