Acrylic tank recommendations

I have been out of the hobby for a couple years and would like to get back in but would only like a small acrylic tank to start out with any recommendations of a good company to go with I was looking around 20-30 gallons

Any reason why you want to go acrylic? People usually only go acrylic for custom builds or when they want to go really big because at those sizes it's usually cheaper than glass.

+1 and the ease of scratching an acrylic tank would deter me from one. You can pick up a cheap small glass tank. Might wanna even check your local fish store.

+2. A snail fart would scratch my acrylic tank! I like a lot of the all glass small tank options now. Looking to get a Nuvo Fusion setup for myself with low iron glass.
