Okay, so i'm looking at possibly buying a LARGE, LARGE acrylic tank (new). I would like to get a little feedback from acrylic tank owners (past and present) on their feel for it. This tank would need to last 20+ years so i'm curious about seam reliability vs glass (caulk), scratching, and lastly work load to keep it clean and scratch free.
With my glass, if I go a week no biggie, hammerhead cleaner magnet plus razor blade where needed and bam, clean as a whistle. I've read that once the corraline starts to grow on acrylic it's hard to get off without scratching, so you end up having to make sure to clean the walls a lot to avoid having to scrape things off.
Please be so kind as to post your experiences/ recommendations!
Thanks in advance!
