The only thing holding me back from acrylic is the scratching.

My tank has been in my house since May, been running for about 6 weeks now and still no scratches. My glass tank arrived with a scratch and I made my own within days after filling it. Both scratch easily....you just have to take a little extra care with acrylic.

I would also not worrying about scratches - too much. The Problem ist getting rid of coraline algae. When you forget to clean it for a week, it is a pain in the a** to scrape it off with plastic cards or other softer things. I have thrown out my acrylic tank now and going back to glass because its just so much easier to clean.
