Gosh, now that my deal for a 90g fell thru, I really wish I could afford that beauty! I just think that would be a lil too fancy for my office/fishroom. Hubby won't even look at the pic, after telling him the price. Thought I could convince him but was only gonna spend $350 on the other one. I keep going back to this thread to look though...
You just need to be real careful and use the right tools. Im not going to lie, if you have an acrylic tank its going to get a few scratches *eventually*. But you can keep them to a very minimal amount. And you can always buff them out if it gets real bad.
The bonuses acrylic has over glass is very nice though. o) Incase you didnt know mine is acrylic as well.
When you came by my place for the LR, you saw my tanks. Both are acrylic.
I use the tools specially made for cleaning acrylic - I have a Kent pro-scaper with the plastic acrylic cleaning blade and use a Magnavore magnet cleaner with the acrylic cleaning pad on the inside. I, admittedly, amd not as careful as I should be when cleaning the tank and deservedly have a few scratches in the viewing panes.
I feel that if I cleaned the panes more often (like before the coraline starts to grow ) that I would not have as many of these scratches. Most are the result of having to scrape the thickened algae off. If you are dilligent and careful, and acrylic tank can last you a lifetime.
