Glass or Acrylic?

[Yariel0527]

I am in a process of build a new tank and I hasn't decide if I go with glass or acrylic what you guys recommend me? And why I should use it? Please explain me what you think of each other..
Thanks.

What size is the tank going to be?

Glass for me due to the fact that acrylic will scratch a lot easier and glass is easier to clean.

Of course acrylic is a lot lighter but that's not enough to convince me.

What size is the tank going to be?

150g 48"L, 36"W, 20"T

Big tank, acrylic. Smaller tanks, glass (cheap to replace)

I'd go glass. With a 150 gallon it isn't so heavy that glass is a problem and like others stated, glass is a lot easier to keep maintained.

Did you ask your LFS? They can typically order custom sizes through the manufacturer.
