Acetal Sheet?

[Bergenholtz]

Trying put some sheets on the bottom of my tank and I was wondering if anyone ever used acetal sheets?

Inside the tank or construct out of? As far as i know, nothing will stick to acetal so its pretty much useless for construction. Inside to prevent point loads or whatnot (i don't really see a reason in a properly built tank) its just like any other plastic sheet.

Alternatives for substrate. Just for aesthetic purposes.
I have been some people putting these sheets inside of their tanks but wasnt sure what kind of sheets they put.

I think they are using HDPE or starboard.

As a substrate it will obviously change color depending on what grows on it, just like a bare bottom would. Only real difference is stuff can get under sheets and become trapped, while nothing can get stuck in a true bare bottom.

Yea I found similar products online or I should say EXACT same products and custom cut it to my tank size.

Like you mentioned Gorgok, lots of stuff will be trapped underneath so I will seal all the corners with silicones. I found WWC's 650g build thread and they use the HDPE for their barebotttom tanks and sealed them. It seems its working just fine so I will do the same.

Thanks y'all for confirming =)
