If the tank was really large, acrylic may be better. It has way more advantages than glass but the fact that it scratches so easily cancels them all out most of the time. Besides, how often do you move your fish tank?

I'd go Starphire as well unless it's monstrously huge (+350 gallons or so).

At those sizes, a fibreglass coated plywood tank w/a Starphire front is another option.

Acrylic is hard to keep clean without scratching it.

I agree with what has been said above, I'd go with Starphire as well over Acrylic...much easier to maintain...Acrylic is prone to scratching.
