Is this tank made of plastic and how many gallons is it?

Yes, but it is very druable plastic. I don't have a scratch on mine yet and have had it over a year!

As the others said the tank is plastic, but does not look cheap. I had a beta fish who lived there for a long time (betas should have far more space than given). I was very happy with this tank. It's an excellent size and was easy to care for. I would recommend it if you are looking for something that is easy to clean, possible to carry if there is still some water in it and with the long shape fish are free to swim and explore the bottom.

Yes this is a plastic aquarium, It does scratch if you use abrasive cleaner so be careful. It is pretty sturdy and receives about 5/6 gallons... great for 3-5 fish but keep it on the low side because overcrowding means more clean-ups and less health for fishies!!! Enjoy

This aquarium is made of acrylic - not cheap plastic. They sound pretty much the same, but there's a difference in the clarity. This aquarium looks and feels like glass - except you don't have the issue of silicon which holds glass aquariums together. After having this aquarium, I have become a fan of acrylic.The aquarium is advertised as a 6.6 gallon, however, it actually holds more than that. I think it's rated 6.6 gallons to allow an inch or so of air space between water and lid.And yes, HMS81 is correct. When you put your gravel in, be careful about scratching the sides.

Tank is of welded steel construction. Very sturdy. If you are considering this tank, please read, if you have not already, the comments concerning some minor adaptations that make the unit even easier to use. Addition of a longer hose, I used this Goodyear EP 46511 with some quick connect brass fittings, makes for a great tank.

Its plastic. And is not worth buying. It noisy and puts out very little water. I recommend not buying it. Waste of money.

It is not. Has great power for my 60 gal tank. Actually, it HAD great power. Stopped working 14 mos after purchase.

The 10 hours is correct I would estimate the tank is a little over a gallon. I have a 2 gallon refill canister and it and the tank of the champion seems to last for ever. I use it to work on my trailerable sail boat and it runs fans, chargers and power tools.

No, it is not. It is made of rigid plastic. I think that is better, as it helps prevents leaks.

Yes it is. It is a glass tank with a wood composite frame on the bottom and top

It is made of plastic. I wouldn't recommend that much pressure on this product. And the seals on the one I purchased leaked after 3 months of use.

I'm not sure what the inner tank is made from. It looks like stainless steel, but it could be aluminum. I just add water daily to top off the pot, but over the months, some scaling does develop on the inside of the tank, so it may be prudent to clean it several times a year.

The one in this picture is 5 gallons. The 3 gallon is pictured with a Easter Island piece in the description. I happen to have both and the 5 gallon is superior with glass rather than plastic.

It's plastic. It does on the outside of the tank, though, so it can cling to the glass.

The water tank is plastic & so is the steeping carafe. The unit is not BPA free. I doubt any plastic is safe, even if BPA free. From my research, BPA leaches most from older plastic & extreme temperatures. So I add a couple ice cubes to the steeping carafe and have changed out the entire unit every two years. I've had three of these.

I can't remember for sure, I want to say they were in plastic. I'm planning to order again, so check back. I will say I'm world's greatest penny pincher, and I remember it was first quality product. I have 5 large tanks, so I go through a lot of filters...

I think it was 3 gallons. I actually purchased it for a friend so I not positive. But it was really nice! Pretty big unless you have a lot of counter space.

The tank is made of a plastic pvc type material, which doesn't sweat like a porcelain china toilet tank. Have never had an issue with sweating.
