Is that a "don't go with acrylic" lesson?
oh, I just now saw your question.
No, I meant it as "You're not the only one messing up acrylic", so don't feel too bad.
Like aclockworkorange said, acrylic scratches can be buffed out- 'at some point'.
This is my first acrylic & didn't even realize I was scratching it, but they're not too bad. Guess it's a learning curve, and that's still preferable to
the weight of glass.
No way I'd get any big glass tanks...already have a rebuilt spine. Helpers aren't always around. Lifting this 75G was a snap for me & husband. Real sure we can manage a bigger one by ourselves too.
