I prefer to think of an aquarium as an expensive piece of furniture/art. It's not for everybody but I really like to see the look on peoples faces when the sit down and take a look.

Country: | That is a very VERY large African Cichlid, or he was until my Green Terror killed his ass dead inside of 6 hours....
He killed every African I had in there, which was 4 of em....
Rule to remember, dont mix South Americans with Africans....

That was the most rascist aquarium quote I think I have ever heard.

Country: | IMO glass is the way to go
Acrilyc
Pros:
Less weight
No seems on edges of tank, nice rounded corners (look at the photo I posted earlier. Mine is glass, you can see where the different panels are joined)
Often available in cool shapes
Cons:
Scratches easy (algae can get inside the scratches)
More expensive
Glass
Less likely to scratch. Some people can't get over the visible seems... it doesnt bother me..
NOTE: Always use flourescent lights.. The fish look better and they won't overheat the tank. I think they are less likely to promote algae growth too. If you buy a pre-made kit, you may have to ask to trade the incandescent for the flourescent. They're a little more money but worth it.
