Acrylic was all the rage in the early 2000's because of their light weight and super clear panels. Then we all found out that the lightweight only counts when you move it which doesn't happen often, and the lovely clear panes get all scratched up super easily! I know of a couple people that had sand-sifting fish in their acrylic tanks, and just from them blowing sand around the acrylic got teeny little scratches that gave it a hazy look. It was awful. Glass is once more far more popular than acrylic. I wouldn't buy an acrylic tank.
