A: We use only top-quality Grade A environmental acrylic materials that comply with ROHS standards. All raw materials undergo strict testing including appearance inspection, thermal performance, physical performance, and optical performance tests. Our acrylic achieves 93% light transmittance - similar to optical-grade glass - with superior impact resistance (17x stronger than glass). Every product passes our triple inspection process to ensure consistent quality.
Q2: Are you a factory or trading company?
A: We are a professional acrylic fish tank factory with our own manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China. With over 15 years of production experience since 2010, we have complete in-house capabilities including design, cutting, polishing, bonding, printing, and packaging. Being a direct manufacturer means you get factory-direct prices without middleman markups.
Q3: Can you make custom sizes and shapes?
A: Absolutely! As professional custom aquarium manufacturers, we specialize in OEM/ODM services. We can produce fish tanks in any size (from small desktop bowls to large commercial aquariums), any shape (rectangular, cylindrical, spherical, or unique custom designs), and with various customization options including custom colors, logo printing, and accessories. Simply share your requirements, and our design team will provide CAD drawings for your approval.
Q4: What is the sample fee and lead time?
A: Sample costs vary depending on the size and complexity of your design. We provide competitive sample pricing, and sample fees can be refunded with your bulk order. Sample production typically takes 3-5 working days. Please contact us with your specific requirements for an accurate quote.

Our factory is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring consistent quality management.

A: Acrylic fish tanks are generally the better choice for most applications. Acrylic offers 93% light transmittance (clearer than glass), is 17x stronger and 50% lighter than glass, and can be shaped into any design. Acrylic is especially advantageous for large tanks, custom shapes, and locations where safety is a concern. Glass may be preferred only for very small standard tanks or when maximum scratch resistance is required. As professional acrylic aquarium manufacturers, we recommend acrylic for most customers.
Q12: Will you protect my custom design?
A: Absolutely. We take design confidentiality very seriously. We guarantee that your custom product designs will never be sold to other customers. Your exclusive designs remain your intellectual property, and we sign NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) upon request.
