LEYU Factory has participated in the design, production, and installation of over 80 public aquariums worldwide. Almost every ocean park has a large acrylic cylindrical tank, and LEYU Factory has rich experience in production and installation. Here are our installation cases.
There are two primary methods for constructing acrylic cylinder aquariums: bonded and seamless. Bonded cylinders, used for larger tanks over 1 meter in diameter, involve joining two curved panels, resulting in faintly visible bond lines. Seamless cylinders, made from a single piece of acrylic tube, are typically used for smaller tanks under 1 meter in diameter.LEYU's design team selects the appropriate construction technique based on the specific project requirements.
Size: Diameter 7 meters, height 9 meters
Production steps of cylindrical cylinder:
1. Produce acrylic sheets
2. Mold making and hot bending forming
3. Polishing treatment to make the acrylic curved board transparent
4. After professional packaging, transport to the installation site
5. On site chemical splicing

When choosing between glass and acrylic for a cylinder aquarium, both materials have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. The choice ultimately depends on your specific needs, preferences, and budget. Here's a comparison to help you decide:
Glass is highly resistant to scratches, making it an excellent choice if you're concerned about maintaining the aquarium's clarity over time. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas or homes with children or pets.
Optical Quality: Glass offers superior optical clarity and doesn’t yellow over time, ensuring that your aquarium's view remains crystal clear.
Glass aquariums are generally less expensive than acrylic, especially for smaller sizes. This makes them more accessible for hobbyists on a budget.
Heavier Material: The weight of glass provides stability, reducing the risk of the aquarium being knocked over or moved accidentally.
Glass is much heavier than acrylic, which can make the aquarium more challenging to move, install, or handle.
Glass is more prone to cracking or shattering if subjected to impact or pressure, especially during transportation or installation.
Manufacturing Constraints: Glass is more difficult to mold into complex shapes, which might limit the variety and creativity of the designs available for cylinder aquariums.
Acrylic is much lighter than glass, making it easier to transport, move, and install, especially for larger aquariums.
Acrylic is more impact-resistant than glass, meaning it’s less likely to crack or shatter if bumped or dropped. This makes it a safer choice for households with children or pets.
Acrylic can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for more creative and custom designs, particularly for complex cylinder shapes or larger tanks.
Acrylic has better insulating properties than glass, which helps maintain a more stable water temperature, potentially reducing the energy needed for heating.
Acrylic is more susceptible to scratches, which can be a concern when cleaning or handling the aquarium. Special care and cleaning products are required to prevent and remove scratches.
Acrylic aquariums are typically more expensive than glass ones, particularly for larger sizes or custom designs.
Over time, acrylic can yellow when exposed to UV light, though modern acrylics are often treated to minimize this effect.
Acrylic can bow or warp if not adequately supported, especially in larger tanks. This means you may need to ensure the tank is properly supported along its entire base and sides.
Choose Glass if:
You want a more affordable option.
Scratch resistance and optical clarity are your top priorities.
The added weight and potential fragility are not major concerns.
Choose Acrylic if:
You need a larger or custom-shaped tank.
Lightweight and impact resistance are important to you.
You're willing to invest more for better insulation and flexibility in design, and you’re prepared to take extra care to avoid scratches.
Each material has its pros and cons, so consider your specific requirements and environment when making your decision.
LEYU's cylinder aquariums are crafted using high-clarity, scratch-resistant acrylic. Known by various brand names such as Plexiglas, Acrylic, Lucite, Perclax, and Perspex, acrylic is preferred over glass for several reasons. Acrylic's higher impact resistance makes it safer for public settings. It also offers superior transparency and can be easily polished to remove scratches. Unlike glass, acrylic minimizes visual distortion, ensuring that the aquatic life inside appears true to size and color.
Cylinder aquariums offer several unique benefits that make them an appealing choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. Here are some of the key advantages:
Cylinder aquariums provide a full 360-degree viewing angle, allowing you to observe the aquatic life from any direction. This creates a captivating and immersive experience.
The continuous, seamless glass or acrylic walls enhance the beauty of the aquarium, making it a striking centerpiece in any room.
Due to their vertical orientation, cylinder aquariums take up less floor space compared to traditional rectangular or square aquariums. This makes them ideal for smaller rooms or areas where space is limited.
The design allows for more vertical space, which can be beneficial for species that prefer to swim upwards or in open water columns.
The cylindrical shape promotes more uniform water circulation, reducing the risk of dead spots where debris and waste can accumulate. This can lead to a healthier environment for the fish.
Many cylinder aquariums have filtration systems placed in the center, which helps in maintaining a balanced water flow and keeping the water clear.
The shape of the aquarium allows for creative and innovative aquascaping. You can create a natural, multi-layered environment that mimics different aquatic habitats.
Placing decorations, plants, or coral in the center of the aquarium can enhance the visual appeal and provide a focal point for viewers.
Due to their aesthetic appeal and 360-degree viewing, cylinder aquariums can be placed in various locations, including the middle of a room, where traditional aquariums might not fit as well.
These aquariums are often used in public spaces like hotel lobbies, restaurants, or offices because of their ability to attract attention and create a tranquil atmosphere.
The curved glass or acrylic of a cylinder aquarium allows viewers to get closer to the aquatic life, which can enhance the connection between the observer and the inhabitants.
The curved surface can also slightly magnify the view, making the fish and other creatures appear larger and more vivid.
The round design of the tank allows fish to swim in a more natural, continuous pattern, potentially reducing stress compared to the more angular routes they might have to take in rectangular tanks.
The improved water circulation and centralized filtration can contribute to a more stable and balanced environment, which is beneficial for the health of the fish.
Overall, cylinder aquariums offer a unique blend of aesthetic appeal, practical benefits, and enhanced interaction with aquatic life, making them a popular choice for those looking to create a visually stunning and harmonious aquatic environment.
LEYU offers extensive customization options for cylinder aquariums. Clients can choose the size, shape, and type of acrylic to create an aquarium tailored to their specific needs and preferences. This versatility makes acrylic cylinder fish tanks suitable for any setting, whether residential or commercial.
Acrylic cylinder fish tanks are a top choice for those seeking a unique and eye-catching feature for their space. With benefits such as a 360-degree view, higher impact resistance, and minimal visual distortion, acrylic cylinder fish tanks are both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
