Theoretically, acrylic aquarium seams, with proper material thickness and construction should form a chemical bond and be stronger than their silicone bonded glass counterparts.
Would this potential seam strength benefit of acrylic over glass and silicone be worth the added maintenance and care that comes with acrylic aquariums?
Essentially, would a nano aquarium (say under 30 gallons) be any more likely to fail with glass/silicone seams than with acrylic? I'm planning a new aquarium and any thoughts/ opinions are appreciated!
