New aquarium

[Yodo]

Hi all
Starting to get back in the hobby. Wondering if I should get a glass or acrylic tank?

Hi Yodo and firstly welcome to R2R it’s great to have you with us!

I would go for glass but it’s clearly personal preference I guess.

Welcome to reef2reef !!!
Write a pros and cons list about each tank and then try to decide from there

Glass scratches
Acrylic really scratches

I vote rimless glass

 

[virtual reality]

One of each. Don't you need a sump?

Welcome, So nice to meet you.

James nailed it. Weigh pros and cons. Worried about scratches, weight, costs, etc

Once you get that tank get us some pix.

We cant tell you which to get.

Welcome to R2R. I vote for rimless glass.
By the way, what is your budget and how large a tank are you looking for? Also, will you need a cabinet to place it on?

I’m looking to spend around $2500-$3000
60 -75 gallon tank. I’m going to build it into the wall.
Thx

Welcome to R2R! My vote goes to glass. Acrylic scratches much too easily ime.

Do your research on R2R and pick the brains of the staff at any LFS in your area which is what I did. Just remember that no question is stupid and better to ask the question than make a costly mistake!
