Custom tanks are quoted separately, do not get free freight, and are not eligible for return or refund once production has started or the order has shipped.

Why acrylic instead of glass?

TRUVU tanks are 100% cell-cast acrylic with solvent-bonded seams. Acrylic is about 17 times more impact resistant than glass, much lighter, and insulates better for steadier water temperature. Acrylic scratches more easily than glass, but scratches can be polished out with an acrylic scratch removal kit.
