The article refers to the aquarium as glass throughout it.
- kayodelycaon 4y agoThe material used is plexiglass, aka acrylic, a type of clear plastic. Actual glass is probably too brittle or expensive. People use "glass" to mean the clear part of a window, not the actual material, in this context.
- abduhl 4y agoI'm glad to hear that you'd agree with me then that a correction saying "there is no glass" would be inappropriate because when someone says glass they mean the clear part of the tank.
- seattle_spring 4y agoThis may or may not be your intention, but fyi you are coming off as extremely condescending bordering on /r/iamverysmart level tones. I'm no expert, but I know that a hot tub on slightly uneven ground has a good possibility of bursting and ruining the tub due to how much stress the water will unevenly put against a side. I don't see why the same underlying reasons wouldn't apply here too.
