Well, if you want an explaination, acrylics are very very nice looking (new), but not friendly on up-keep - IMHO. No offense to acrylic tank owners, I'm not complaining about whether it's possible or not to keep one well maintained (obviously acrylics can be very well maintained - with proper disciplined care). I am talking about "my" maintaince style - or should I say lack-there-of. If I don't have to touch the tank - I won't! In the past I've had times where some coralline got established on the glass. While scolding myself for letting the tank go so far without regular cleaning and care, I said with razor blade in hand, "gee, I'm sure glad I don't own an acrylic tank!" Glass is just easier "for me" to deal with and affords me the latitude I need given my busy lifestyle.
