which one would you prefer and why?

[GarNiac]

plywood tank or full glass tank?
hope its not a stupid question to ask, but I've seen some people project building their own tank with plywood, and its amazing,
I personally prefer a pure glass tank cause It gives me much more view. Besides its what most people have in my country, and it doesnt cost alot here. Already, I'm thinking of building one my self a 700 gall tank.
So which one would you rather have?

Plywood is probably much cheaper and easier for the average person to build, especially when your talking about aquariums that are several hundred (or even several thousand) gallons. That said, I personally would rather have an all glass tank because of the added viewing angles, but when the time comes for me to get a truely large tank, I will probably end up building it out of plywood (because it will be much cheaper lol)

I have not looked into the plywood tanks but I may try to build one because I have been thinking about a tank project that would involve an already made tank.The plywood may be easier to do what I want.

Glass if I could afford it.

Glass if I could afford it.

I think most people would take glass if they were the same price, but since plywood is much cheaper, people go with that.

Definitely glass, but I doubt I'll ever be able to afford a glass tank over 2-300 gallons, so if I go bigger than that, it will be plywood

Depends on if you have multiple veiwing angles. I love veiwing my 450g from the end. It's acyrilic though so I guess it doesn't count

Glass because of the viewing angles.

If I ever do a DIY, it'll be plywood. It just looks so awesome

I'd take acrylic over anything...
