I have a 60g acrylic tank. While building it was fun and something i dont regret at all, after a single year of use, I am already looking into getting a new glass tank because acrylic scratches too easily. I haven't had any kinds of fish that could scratch it, it was mostly just my own clumsiness. Glass is just more forgiving. I also like using the razors to scrape the crustose algae off the glass which i just cant do in an acrylic tank.

I also think the acrylic i used was a bit too thin as it is bowing (about 1 cm in every direction). Im pretty sure it would have blown by now if it weren't for the brace i put in it.
