Hey all, slowly but surely im assembling the materials I need for my new reef project that will hopefully launch in december. The goal is to have a 440 Gallon system all in-line. (1X72" 220G Display + 2X30G cubes + 1X55G sump + 1X 105G fuge) Im going all in wall + fish room for this project with the main system centered on the wall with two species only cubes along each side and the fuge below. I plan to arrange them in a linear fashion. Okay, now that you have the back story. I need a 220Gish tank thats 72" long, and you can't get that sort of thing around here. So I need to order one, and the question is Glass or Acrylic?
Anyone using acrylic for big reef solutions? I don't know how I feel about not being able to whip out the razor blade and go to town on coraline. Are there good products to keeping the front glass "spit shined" or if you slip in your cleaning are you hosed to hours of "wax on, wax off" with some specialty acrylic pad?
Thanks to everyone who contributes, this is officially the first post of many as I start to put this thing together. Im going to take this one VERY slow as its not only a huge step for me in the hobby, its also a major renovation to my home, and plumbing aside its got to be right the first time.
