Could this be used as a nano? I dont see why not. Whats your opinion on this? Anyone use one of these?

Turns out to be 4.3 gallons.

Don't see why not. As long as they didn't use any chemicals in there that would be harmful to an aquarium, but if it's brand new I wouldn't imagine that they would have.

better make sure its leak proof...and make sure the sides are attached with adhesive srong enough. I would be leary as it looks like it was made to go OVER something rhtaer than have something go IN it...

At that cost... I will purchase one and let everyone know the outcome.
Shouldn't they be heated/melted together rather then glued? I'll shot them an email and ask.

I saw that exact display case on usplastics.com. I was asking myself the same question.

Ok... I emailed the seller with this question:

Hi... are these cubes heated/melted sealed together or glued together.

The seller responded:

"I'm not sure, but they do hold water without leaking. Hope that helps. Thanks for looking and good luck if you bid!"

So im gonna give it a try.

acrylic has a special glue that bonds it together, so if this is acrylic then it more than likely bonded very tight. when you get it you can look at the seams. the "glue" used in acrylic "melts" both pieces of acrylic and fuses them together. HTH.
