I want to replace my 12 yr old 90 gal acrylic tank with another one because it has too many scratches. Which brand should I buy?

I would search R2R for Advanced Acrylics before ordering from them; they don’t have the best reviews of late.

90g is small enough that it wouldn’t take long to sand & buff out the scratches to make it look new.
I have 3 ~120g tanks that are all over 20 years old, but you’d never know it!

I’m very happy with my newer 200 and 500g acrylic tanks from Fish Tanks Direct in Florida.

I’ll research how to sand and buff a tank thank you.

Why replace? There is a great thread on here about removing scratches from acrylic. Polishing Acrylic - My Battle with Coralline
If you like your tank... a little elbow grease may save the day.
