acrylic or glass for mantis?

[scarletknight06]

hello all,
I had a mantus (g chiagra) for about 2 weeks (dystopian has it now) that i was going to keep in my fuge but i couldnt figure out a good way to get it set up properly so the mantis didnt wander into the skimmer or return pump section.
But not I am going to have a seperate sump and fuge so I would like to keep a mantis in the fuge. MY question is......i'll probably get another of the same kind I had, but should i go acrylic (isnt it harder for them to break it) or glass? I really dont want to have to deal with a shattered tank. Or should i just not get one for that reason.

i think acrylic would be stronger?

i guess what i am asking is, can a smasher break acrylic?

No. But it isalso very rare that they can break glass.

would setting up a small 10g tank next to my 22g tank be a problem? im thinking he would want to go in there and break the glass..

so is acylic stronger than glass?
