Tank preference...glass or acrylic

[Fishwick]

Howdy All...
I'm looking at different aquarium manufactures ( Oceanic, All-Glass, etc, ) I prefer glass over acrylic, but I'm open to suggestions. Please lend me your testimony. Has anyone had any experience with Oceanic? I know they are expensive. Fil me in
Thanks

For me the fact that acrylic can scratch so easily makes me not want it. I have heard pepople comment that they just look at an acrylic tank and it scratches.

Glass all the way if its an option.

Depends on teh size of the tank really.. Larger tanks I say Acrylic smaller ones I say glass.. Theres things you have to consider for both.. Neither of them is better then the other one overall. They each just have uses that they are better in then the other.

I agree with Jacob.

200 gal or smaller I prefer glass. Larger and I think Acrylic is best.

Glass will scratch. Scratches in Acrylic can be buffed out.
