150 gallon glass or acrylic tank

[laxratnd]

Hey guys.
I am upgrading my setup from a 75 gallon oceanic tank to a 150. I was wondering what do you guys think i should get. either a 150 oceanic glass tank or a 150 tenecor acrylic tank. I want the tank to last a long time and be very clear. I know oceanic has a lifetime warranty on there tanks just dont know what they cover in the warranty. Any help or advice will be appreciated.

thanks

I would go with the acrylic. It is so much easier to handle and move. They have a clearer veiwing. Just make sure you get the proper equipment to clean it. They do scratch easier.

Thanks. Are these two companies good fish tank companies to buy from. Does tenecor have good quality tanks. i know they scratch easy but its not like theres people running around the place.

I use to think glass until I got my Acrylic tank. Anything that big and that is small in this hobby but I would say ACRYLIC all the way!

so you like your acrylic tank more then your glass.

That is the exact one that I just purchased from a private owner and I love it. I have the Dual return and spray option in a 150g. I think it it is awsome.

62x26x60. So 60 inches tall. You will need a good space to put it. But its not to bad to find a 62 inch space of wall!
