Are you sure you want an acrylic tank? One of my tanks is acrylic and I hate it. Hard to clean coralline algae from it, as you can only use plastic scrapers.

And they are very easily scratched. All you need is a grain of sand (or coralline) caught in your mag cleaner, and it will make a scratch. Mine is full of scratches. And I use the special underpads for acrylic, but like I said, all it takes is a small grain of sand.

I have another glass tank downstairs and it is a joy to clean compared to my acrylic one. And while it is an old tank, hardly any scratches on it.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
