Is this tank made of glass?? Not acrylic?

It is made of glass but the base has a plastic black frame. It's a beautiful modern looking tank but when filled with water feels about 20 pounds or more. When lifting it, the plastic base can feel a bit flimsy. When empty, you wouldn't be able to tell.

Yes the tank is made of glass. The base of the tank and the lid are made of plastic though.

Yes the tank is made of glass. The pump and filter area is the same pane of glass but has a frosted finish. The glass has a good thickness too. The partition between the pump and filter is black plastic --as is the base riser, but the actual bottom of the tank is clear glass also. The top cover is clear plastic. The corners joining the panes are made of aluminium.

Yes it's plastic! Not glass. The distressed finish is also cream and blue, at least my frame! Hope this helps!

It is plastic/styrene, not acrylic. It is very clear when new, but extremely soft and easily scratched so great care is required to avoid dulling the plastic. I have found using foam "paintbrushes" (found in any hardware store/dept) to gently wipe the sides works well for algae removal if needed. It's a nice little tank for the money, if you treat it gently it should remain clear.

This 6 gallon tank is all acrylic. It does not have a glass bottom. At the top front of the tank it has a small hole in it for feeding the fish and in the back it has two angled openings basically for like the wirefor the heater or like a in-tank filter.

Acrylic to the best of my knowledge. Too sturdy to be plastic in my opinion.

Acrylic, a Form of plastic. However, it is so hard and has a glass like surface it doesn't absorb "Any" food or liquid stains like most all other plastics tend to do! Plus, it's not near as heavy as glass! I "Love" it!!! Will be getting another for the camper!

The tank is made of metal. The filter housings are all plastic. Hope that answers your question.

They are definitely not glass, but I'm uncertain if they are acrylic. Seem sort of plastic to me. Could be acrylic tho.

The tank is plastic, but it's a well-made coffeemaker. We use this model at my office at work where 3-4 pots are made per day and after a year and a half, it's still working fine. It's easy to clean.

Yes this is a plastic aquarium, It does scratch if you use abrasive cleaner so be careful. It is pretty sturdy and receives about 5/6 gallons... great for 3-5 fish but keep it on the low side because overcrowding means more clean-ups and less health for fishies!!! Enjoy

No, it is a smooth plastic or acrylic. Very easy to clean. The container is very well insulated.

No. It's clear acrylic on all sides except the bottom and that's a black plastic.

Yes. It is a coated piece of paper, but has held up well for the time I have had this aquarium.

No, it is a type of acrylic. Sometimes can chip (the lid of the one I bought did).

Yes, the supporting structure is plastic. It appears to be very durable. You shouldn't worry about that, but rather the glass tank. I had to return my first tank because in shipment it cracked. The vendor-Drs. foster & smith promptly replaced it. I purchased the 12 gallon tank, by he way.

Definitely not glass---it's lightweight plastic. Don't know why the weight is listed so high.
