My Either/Or Question (any Acrylic owners?)

Not easily when they are on the inside of the tank.
Algae cleaning pads and wall cleaning utensils which are marketed to be for acrylic will produce very, very minor scratches which over a period of even a year become noticeable.

I don't have any scratches inside. I also don't have algae that I need to scrub off though.

One thing to mention about the acrylic- although the view is great without the caulk lines, mine is a bowed front and there is some distortion at certain angles.

Overall I do like the acrylic. But I would get a glass one if I had the space for a large one.

I love mine to. I got the bowfront 36 gallon. Not much different from the 46 gallon in inches. Plus cheaper. I just now need to get my new hood and the under gravel filter and last of all plants. Then I can put fish into it. Its my first aquarium so shatter proof is a good thing lol.
