What do you have acrylic or glass tanks?

 

[psychodave]

My 30 gallon and 10 gallon mantis tanks are glass...my 110 is acrylic...i voted glass though

 

[AngeloM3]

does anyone worry about their mantis breaking the glass??

 

[psychodave]

nope

I like my glass tanks. They are much clearer and easier to keep clean.

dantodd acrylic is much clearer then glass, unless the acrylic is all scratched up.

Glass.
No worries really.

I have some acrylic tanks and a few glass tanks. Glass is always better to clean. With acrylic tanks you must be very careful.

I cant stand acrylic...ill never get another one. I dont see any difference in the clarity between my acrylic tank and my glass tanks. My acrylic tank was given to me for free with the stand/light/hood/sump/skimmer. But the tank has scratches on the inside and outside. The scratches on the inside are filling up with algae that I cant scrape off. Not to mention the glue on the bottom front failed when I was doing my test setup and dumped 110 gallons of tap water on my carpet... Ive never had a glass tank blow a seam on me or even crack or get a scratch, plus they are way eaiser to clean...

Glass is fine until it leaks.. I will never go back to glass again after losing 2 glass tanks that were brand name and less than 2 years old.

The acrylic tank I got from my boss, It had a few scratches on it already. It blew out on me once I set it up...not one of the glass ones...the acrylic tank blew its seam...i re-glued it and its been holdin for a little over a year now but it makes me nervious every time i look at it. The scratches are from an abrasive pad I was sold that was advertised as Acrylic safe...it wasnt...
