Acrylic vs Glass

[The Grizz]

I had the option of acrylic versus glass on my 300 gal Im building and I decided to go with glass simply because acrylic scratches way to easy for my liking. We have grandsons who love the tanks and I am always cleaning off little hand prints from the glass. The other factor is actually the building of the tank, acrylic is a very tricking product to work with. Edges have to be perfectly square and smooth. If you get a good bond and its just a little bit off its a tone of work to get it apart and resurface where as glass little imperfection can be forgiven and come apart much easier when bonded with silicone.
