I am going to upgrade tanks and have been reading articles about glass vs acrylic. I was wondering if anyone had horror stories about acrylic. Basically, I have read up on the subject, but I am looking for user reviews from a trusted source. Any advice will be great!

    My reef is glass, but my angled tank, my suncoral tank and my quarantine tank (as well as any sump) are acrylic. Scratching is super likely compared to glass, although glass can scratch if you aren't careful.

    Is there a huge weight difference between the two?

    Significantly. Glass tanks are much heavier and need more muscle to move/install over acrylic tanks.
