Re: [GSAS-Member] Glass v. Acrylic tanks

[Bryan Nichols <nicholsbryan@gmail.com>]

After having both glass and acrylic now for a while, I would recommend
glass. Just cleaning the acrylic (with acrylic "safe" tools) has left tiny
scratches in it. Just too soft in my opinion. It may also depend on the size
you are after. I'm working with 55Gal tanks in my situation. in bigger
scenarios acrylic benefits might outweigh glass.
