If it lasts that long.....

it won't be yellow, but unless it's "clarity glass" (e.g., starfire), it will be just as green as when you first bought it...

That is a lot of water, I feel like acrylic would be more durable and way lighter.

With triggers and puffers, glass. If just one Xanthichthys and no puffers, acrylic.

i would go with acrylic because my first aqaurium sprung a leak and it was horrible, although i bought it used. if you go with glass make sure the aquarium is fairly new i guess. i have heard some stories of glass ones breaking but not acrylic.
