I used to swear I would never own another acrylic tank (had a 40 gal one about 20yrs ago, scrached up real easy and looked terrible in about 6 months) and then I just picked up my 750gal monster (used) This tank is 5 years old and has no more scratches than a comparable glass tank the same age, only difference is you can polish a scratch out of acrylic far easier than glass. I think the key to acrylic is to buy a high end tank, there are many grades of acrylic and the saying "You get what you pay for" is certainly true here. Whatever you do make sure it is cell cast and not extruded, extruded is not as strong and is softer making it easier to damage.
