savic0123 Plastic Aquarium TanksPlastic aquairum tanks are the least popular of all aquariums and are very inexpensive and normally are found on the shelves of your local aquarium store. They have many disadvantages and no advantages over acrylic aquarium tanks or glass aquarium tanks and are now becoming obsolete for many reasons:

  • Discoloring over time: They will turn yellowish color as the aquarium tank ages.
  • Scratching: They very scratch easily and there is no real way to repair the scratches.
  • Limited sizes of tanks: Typically only come in very small sizes with capacity of about 2 to 5 gallons.
  • Melt under heat: They have been known to melt when their own lights get hot so not a good choice.
  • Distortion: They suffer major distortion problems due to their odd shapes.
