This has probly been asked allot but i am putting together plans for a sump/fugium and I was thinking Glass or Acrylic? And which one is easier to drill?
 
acrylic is very easy to drill. the only precaution i would say is to make sure you keep the bit cool....if you can have a bit of water running over the drilling area, that's the best way to go.

here's a few articles about working with acrylic...even one specifically dealing with a refugium
