Will this work on an acrylic tank?

This thing fell apart after a week or two and could've killed my fish. Will it work? Yeah but I wouldn't risk it

Now that I own one of these and have looked at it more closely. It should work fine on acrylic, but the earlier answer is nonsense. These thermometers peel and stick to the outside of the tank. There's labeling on the front of the package stating it goes on the outside. They're based on liquid crystal, which is generally nontoxic and non-corrosive. They pose no threat to fish, particularly since they don't go in the tank at all. I use it on a glass tank, but there's no reason these would not work on acrylic. Acrylic is a bit less thermally conductive than glass, so the thermometer will respond slightly slower to changes in temperature than it would on glass, but this shouldn't be an issue for day-to-day temperature monitoring or hour-by-hour thermostat adjustments. The only possible realistic drawback I can think of for acrylic is the peel-and-stick adhesive is designed to be removable, but it might be harder to remove from acrylic than glass. Having not tried it on acrylic I can only theorize.

I used it on a few motorcycle tank and its worked really well so far but they are steel. According to the instructions it claims it can be used on plastic and fiberglass tanks. Just wash with hot soapy water and dry wall screws to clean and rough up the inside surface. Hope that helps.

Yes, definitely. It really doesn't get hot, just stays warm. I use it in a 1 gallon acrylic tank.

Probably pretty well. I haven't used it on clear acrylic only on a black molybdenum filled nylon. I used it for marking manufacture dates on the parts I made and it worked very well. All in all the tool worked better than I expected.

I have not tried this on an acrylic tub but, I have used this with both the blue pad and the bristle brush on my stainless steel sink, tile shower, flat cooktop range, porcelain bathroom sink...all without scratches. I think it might be safe to say it would be fine on an acrylic tub as long as you do not use an abrasive cleanser. I have been happy with my results in using this power scrubber. It has been effective for me and though it is not a miracle worker, it had cut down on "elbow grease" and time spent cleaning.

We bought this for our glass tank. I wouldn't go acrylic as it will,scratch and will,discolor.

Works great on my acrylic tub in a suction seal way. if the not slip surface is flat, I would think it would, not sure.

It will depend more on your lid I believe. This unit has legs that are set on the edge of the tank. If your glass top is fully recessed into the top, so that it is flush with the top of the tank, it should be fine. If there is anything that will get in the way of the legs of this unit, it may not work.

Yes it will work. I use it on multiple 10 gallon tanks when i acquire new fish to minimize disease exposure.

No it won't. It will only work on wide mouthed bottles but I still use for other bottles. Well made. I did not know either when I bought it but decided to keep it anyways.

I have a 135 gallon glass tank. The glass is at least .5" thick possibly 5/8" and this product works just fine. I believe the packaging stated it works up to 20mm

I believe it will. I glued clear acrylic panels together with it. I kind of melts or welds two pieces of acrylic into one piece. Hope this helps.

I don't believe so , I have a acrylic tub liner and it doesn't stick to that.

Yes It Will, But It Is Little But Big For Such A Small Tank. I Have A 100Gal Tank I Use It In And It Works Great For It.

It should, I have used it on a couple different brands of jugs. I would say no smaller than 5 gal though

Sorry, I don't know. I've been using it to remove price stickers from plastic and glass containers, metal items, shiny book covers, etc. Haven't tried it on anything acrylic. I can tell you that it often removes sticker residue after it's applied to the surface of the item and left for a while, with no rubbing necessary. Good luck!
