Does coraline grow faster on acrylic than glass? Built a custom tank out of acrylic. Doing bare bottom.Good idea ! I love B.B tanks, are you going glass bottom ?
My input: I've had glass bottoms before that was how I first ran bare bottom tanks, but the last two tanks I currently have running I put an ABS sheet over the bottom, siliconed in place. The coralline algae takes off, it covers the ABS befor it even starts on the glass walls, I believe it speeds up the process, and it protects the glass.
I'm not sure about acrylic, I've never had one but I'll say on the abs bottom and plastic overflows gets it way before the glass does, I would assume acrylic is similar to plastics but im not sure.Does coraline grow faster on acrylic than glass?

Ha! Would you look at that…I don’t think I’ll have another tank with sand again.
If you like super high flow: go bare bottom.
Looks better sure at first, not when those diatoms kick in, also when your fighting to lower nutrients in a year bare bottom starts to look better and better.Ha! Would you look at that…
I use sand now.
Barebottom is good for many reasons, but sand looks much better lol.
