Not in the long run. If it's a reef tank they don't hold up well long term without getting all scratched to hell from regular cleaning of algae especially any coralline or hard greens that need to be scraped off . If it's a fowlr things like puffers and triggers can scrap it all up and even heard some sharks can as well.

I was just in the new Big Als in Calgary. Massive new shark tank in what appears to be 1.5 or 2" acrylic.

Scratched already and easy to notice.
