....that's what i'd thought you say. When you start getting into that much pressure and weight...IMO, strength integrity is more of a concern than a couple of scratches....go with acrylic. lighter and stronger bond! My last 360gallon acrylic (which i sold last year) was running for over 9yrs, and to this day is still as clear as day one.



Acrylic is a lot more scratch resistant than you think and for me, not enough to validate buying glass tank of this size.
Thanks for your comment.

BTW, just curious, who makes 800+gallon Glass tanks?
