Acrylic fish tanks have recently become a best-selling product of Arris. We have received inquiries from customers all over the world.Many customers would often ask an additional question while inquiring about the price:Will the post-maintenance work be very troublesome?From an engineering perspective, the maintenance of high quality custom acrylic fish tanks is not complicated.But the prerequisite is that the design, materials and construction should all be done properly from the very beginning.
First, let’s talk about the cleaning issue that everyone is most concerned about.The acrylic material has a dense surface and high light transmittance.Unlike ordinary glass, which is prone to stubborn adhesion of scale.
Daily maintenance mainly involves soft cleaning:A soft bristled brush, sponge, and neutral cleaning agent are sufficient.Avoid using cleaning products that contain sand, alcohol or are highly corrosive.From engineering experience, as long as the cleaning tools are selected correctly, the maintenance intensity is not high.
The second issue that is often mentioned is the scratch problem.Lightweight Acrylic is indeed softer than glass, but this does not mean it is fragile.The engineering-grade acrylic is manufactured with a pre-set safety thickness at the factory. Minor scratches can be easily repaired through polishing.This is something that glass cannot do.The engineering-grade acrylic is manufactured with a pre-set safety thickness at the factory. Minor scratches can be easily repaired through polishing.
In the actual project of Arris acrylic,after being used for many years, the large display tank can basically regain its original visual effect through a professional polishing process.Regarding structure and sealing.The acrylic fish tank is made using either the overall hot bending process or the assembly method.The key maintenance points are not on the cylinder body itself, but on the circulation system, sealant lines, and support structures.These are the standard maintenance procedures for all large fish tanks and will not become more difficult due to the use of acrylic.Acrylic has stronger impact resistance and better adaptability to structural micro deformation.Higher long-term stability.
Overall, the maintenance of freshwater acrylic fish tanks is not difficult. The key lies in whether the design and construction were carried out in accordance with engineering standards in the early stage.
Choose the right materials and structure well.Maintenance will then become regular upkeep rather than frequent repairs.This is also the reason why Arris Acrylic always emphasizes “engineering first” in the project.Enable customers to use it with peace of mind and without worry.
