Howdy,
glass is inert to the solvents used in markers. Feel free to use any Sharpie you can find. It's easily removable with a regular rubber eraser. For even easier removal use markers for dry-erase boards.
I would be hesitant to use any marker on acrylic, since it might etch the surface just enough to see it once it's removed. But I am sure there are also acrylic-safe markers out there ... if in doubt, ask your local LFS what they use.

I just write everything in blood. A good crime scene clean up crew can get it clean after your done.

On glass- white paint pen medium point- use a single edge razor blade to get it off.
You can squeege the front of the tank and not remove the sign.
For some reason there's always someone that wants to mess with the signs and prices. This just makes it a little more difficult.
I know some stores use labels. I've had customers remove them and then ask how much the fish are trying to get a better price. They do the same with pricing labels on products so i use labels that come apart when you try to remove them quickly. OR I hide an extra label on expensive things.
