Hello!
Is there really a big difference between an Acrylic tank vs Glass as far as performance goes? I've ready a ton of forums and websites and get the two big differences:
1. Acrylic is Lighter
2. Acrylic is more prone to scratches
As I search for a 150+ Gallon tank, I've found a few Acrylics that i've passed on because I'm worried that my girlfriends cats claws would scratch up the tank. She keeps them pretty trimmed, but in the event they weren't, would they leave marks or is the Acrylic harder?
On the other hand, I've found un-drilled 150+ gallon tanks that would also work but I really don't want to drill a tank and end up shattering it.
Is there a benefit to the internal overflow vs the external other than exposed pipes? Or is anyone interested in drilling a tank?
Thank you for your help. I know I have been asking a ton of questions, I'm sorry!
