    Hi All.

    Can anyone tell me if the Boyu TL550 is an Acrylic or Glass aquarium please.

    Have the option of one which was a marine tank, so lots of cleaning required.

    Regards

    I have an older version, might be that the new ones are acrylic I doubt it though the design looks exactly the same? As mentioned the hood, and the rear sump is acrylic for sure.

    Decided on the other option, which is the JBJ Nano Cube 24 (+-90 Litre) tank...

    Nice little tank...
