I'm planning a largeish tank, and I would like it to be acrylic.
The price is not really relevant, I've had glass and acrylic quoted and they're close enough at this size to make no real difference.
I'd rather avoid glass because it's going to be easier to manoeuvre a 70Kg tank than a 200Kg tank, and it would disperse less heat, but mainly because of kids. I'd rather have a panel scratched by a carelessly thrown toy than a panel smashed by a carelessly thrown toy.
I am going to host some ancistrus plecs though, L183 to be precise, or at least that's the plan.
I'd like to know if the acylic is safe of whether I should reconsider the ancistrus.
People who have actually had ancistrus in acrylic tanks would be most welcome of course to relate their experience.
