I have a 6' acrylic tank and the panes are actually smaller than another 6' glass tank I have downstairs. There is no bending, but the acrylic tank does have a one piece euro brace top, incl a center brace.
However, the scratching issue is a big one. I hate cleaning the acrylic too, needs plastic blades, and coralline seems to really love it. My downstairs glass tank is a dream to clean compared to this one.
I would not build or buy a tank again that is acrylic.
