I have always had glass, but when I got my new 230 I had IAP build it out of 3/4" acrylic, cost just a little more but doens't bow at all. I really liked being able to drill it where needed, and love the coast to coast overflow and the euro bracing. Scratches are something to be careful of, but I seemed to get a few overtime with the glass ones and couldn't do anything about the scratches, which has been very easy to take out with a scratch removal kit on the acrylic. Temp in the tank seems to stay more steady also.

I have only ever had glass tanks. 2 have broken on me. When I am ready for a new bigger tank I want to go with Acrylic, ease of set up and lighter wieght.

I have a new 100 gal acrylic and a 30 glass. I like the idea of being able to drill the tank where needed. Also great for the fact I have a 2 year old harder for her to break ;P

I would have thought the majority was acrylic - guess I was wronge. I have acrylic now and I'll definatley go glass next time b/c of the scratching problems w/ acrylic.
