To easily scratched. Every 10 years or earlier you have to tear down the tank to buff out all the internal scratches.

I actually abandoned the project for now and and went with a 125g glass tank. although i have the plywood tank built with a stand in my garage just needs a piece of glass for the front. just glass is not cheap and no money to finish that just yet.

Well, the water level has a much higher effect on the glass than the size of the glass. According to me, Up to 20" (51cm) high - 6mm is better than other size.
