Glass Fish Tank
Glass aquariums are more likely to shatter due to it’s hard, non-flexible structure.
The splicing is made of silicone which will weaken over time and can produce accidents.
Glass aquariums are also more likely to break at any small impact compared to acrylic which is more flexible and which can hold up a strong impact.
Any scratch made on a Glass Fish tank cannot be repaired easily, while acrylic can be polished.
Here you can also watch a test video with two identical fish tanks, one made out of acrylic and one out of glass.
