I'm not sure how it would hold up long term.

Scratching the FRONT is not anything you need to be concerned about. If anything, you would want the glass on the INSIDE...that is what gets scratched. Regardless, I would just go with acrylic if you are planning a really big tank.

Thanks for your replies/opinions. I think it's a great idea for inwall tank, I know that AGE and MRC build them in the States.

Untamed, I have read countless times people who will never do acrylic again because it scatches too easily, do you have an acrylic tank?

We are looking at a 120" x 36" x 30" display. I have a quote on a all glass build but who would you guys deal with on an acrylic build?

Untamed, disregard question re: your tank, I have been following your tank for some time now, beautiful. How do you keep it scratch free?
