What does a DS® acrylic glass cost Aquarium?

An important issue is of course the price, depending on the dimensions, the material thickness is calculated, one of the most important calculation points is the aquarium height and length, it is decisive for the required material thickness, we use the required material thicknesses in order to guarantee the guarantee of 10 years to take into account. In the various aquarium forums, unreal price expectations are sometimes in circulation. The material thickness is always important; if it is chosen too small, the acrylic glass bends and starts to tear.

One should also consider how long such an aquarium will last, i.e. 3-5 times longer than a glass aquarium. So the benefits speak for themselves.

What sizes and shapes are there?

In terms of shape and size, there are no limits, whether round, cylindrical, octagonal or round windshield - everything is possible, it's just a question of price. The material acrylic glass leaves nothing to be desired in the design of an aquarium. Every large custom-made product that would be impossible with the material glass for reasons of weight and possibilities of malleability is accordingly complex and correspondingly expensive.

Aquarium round, cylinder

 Acrylic glass is the right material for round aquariums. Glass as a material is too heavy and extremely cumbersome to manufacture. Acrylic glass as a material impresses with its unbeatable properties of weight, color rendering and extremely long service life. The disadvantage is the relatively high price, which is justified by the high amount of work involved in manufacturing an acrylic cylinder. However, one should note that this is an investment for a lifetime - we calculate the wall thickness of the acrylic aquarium according to the capacity, the diameter and the height - there are also various options for cleaning the aquarium, special cleaning machines or the diameter is chosen as you like can take care of the cleaning yourself. Let us know your requirements and we will make you a non-binding offer.

What does a round, cylinder acrylic aquarium cost?

The cylinders are machine-made up to a diameter of 60cm, so the price is accordingly limited, but only up to a wall thickness of 10mm, everything that is above the dimension and the material thickness must be formed from plates using a manufactured mold, accordingly The acrylic thickness is calculated based on the height and diameter and the price is designed accordingly. As an example, a cylinder with a base 100cm in diameter and 200cm in height, material thickness 30mm wall and base 60mm costs about 11500 €. The effort is therefore relatively high, but any size and shape is possible, which would never be possible with glass.
