Which breaks easier acrylic or glass

[BayArea_510]

hey im thinking of trading my 180 g acrylic for glass just because acrylic scratches and glass barely does but which one is stronger and im talking about 1/2 inch like can withstand a push into the tank or a hard blow i know my acrylic can but can glass

Glass "breaks easier" than acrylic. It's GLASS.

how much easier to break

Well, it's glass, it'll break/chip easily. Super easily. I think your better off with acrylic.

What do plan on doing near your tank that's going to break it?

my tank is in my room which is very active and it is by my cramped coputer desk in the corner and idiots are always hitting the chair on the side of the tank sometimes, but sometimes a fight breaks out every long while so just in case i dont want the tank to bust and little kids are always hitting my tank with something

Sounds like a less than ideal fish tank environment ....

oh these type of things only happen when theres visitors and a fight is maybe only once a year, and theres only kids during a party who wonder in my rooom , but other than that my fish are undisturbed just about 24/7 , they have the best enviroment because they can see me 24/7

Not them, your TANK!!!! Lol, Even once and a while is bad if it breaks once!
