Never one for shinny or glossy anything, i feel it always looks tacky.

Matte also adds the appearance of depth

Does it make a difference? You are looking at it through water and a layer of glass.
 
Gloss is easier to wipe something off. Through the glass it doesn't matter. The Gass I smooths it'll look glossy either way.
 
Unless you use Krylon Sea Glass Paint, it’s going to look glossy.
 
Looks the same when looking through the tank. Doesn't matter.
