Aquarium Advice Addict
I've never had a SW tank so I don't know much of anything about them. Most freshwater folks use glass so I'm wonderning what the advantage would be for using acrylic?

Is buffing a scratch out difficult? I have cats who love to watch my fish. I bet they'd just destroy acrylic...

My problem would be scratching the INSIDE of the tank with crushed coral, live rocks, etc
I would be concerned about something like this.... a big determined crab causing a reef avalanche, and waking up to see a huge scratch front and center (on the inside)
What kind of glue do you use? Somebody was asking about using hot glue on another forum.
Also, why would you need to drill your tank?
triggers said:To add, all acrylic tanks that I have seen are warrantied for life against leaks. Scratches are easy to buff out.
Which is correct.Acrylic is lighter, stronger, clearer, and is a better insulator than glass.
