I know, I know... It has been discussed many times before. I know it is personal preference. And I know the cost differences etc...
But what had me doubting my decision to go acrylic is I went to a LFS today to see what a acrylic stand looked like. They didnt have one there but while there I mentioned I was getting a acrylic tank as well. They suggested not to get one. Specifically that they scratch easy and that some 'mean' fish will bite at the walls and make more scratches....
My question is to those with a acrylic tank... In the real world day to day home aquarium, how easily do they scratch?????
I have a chance to buy a 125 gallon acrylic tank with rounded corners and colored background, pre-drilled, with 2 overflows. A acrylic stand and hood, and a very nice wet/dry with protien skimmer for just over $1400. But I do not want scratches to make me resent the purchase/deal...
Thanks for all the input!
