Acrylic tank company reviews and questions

So I’ve been thinking about upgrading a tank and decided maybe I’ll go into acrylic since it’s a lot cheaper,
Anyone ever buy one from any companies they recommend
And roughly the price ranges
I’m looking for something around 120 gallons
 
Make sure you do your research because I heard they get scratched very easily. Also how clear will it be!!
Try to do your homework, so you don’t end up getting some thing that was not what you wanted

Yah i heard they scratch alittle easier but they make special brushes and supposedly they have some magnets now that fix them up

I'd suggest you look at Glass Cages. I don't have direct experience with their acrylic tanks, but I did purchase a glass tank from them and I thought it was very reasonable. Oh, and I'm extremely happy with the quality of the tank.

My latest setup is acrylic because it’s over 200g corner setup.
It’s made by tsunami and bought from fishtanksdirect.com
And yes it can be scratched easily if you’re not paying attention.
