Would you go with acrylic or glass for a 150 gallon tank?

I have dealt with hundreds of each, at 150g size I would still recommend glass, my personal 150 is glass and prior to that I had the exact same dimensions in acrylic and hated it. If maintenance is harder, you are less likely to do it. I personally take a razor blade to my glass all the time and can clean weeks (sometimes months) of algae of in about 10-15 minutes tops all while multi-tasking: watching tv, getting nagged at by the wife for how dirty it is, and a cold drink in the other hand. LOL
GLASS 1000%
GLASS 1000%
I have an acrylic 150. I just had a leak from the overflow box this week. In the process of repairing. One plus about acrylic is you can do repairs on it, while on glass not so easy. I was debating this with Campnge, Jerry on Monday. He said something that I have to agree with 100%. If this leak would have been on a glass tank, then it would've been worse leading to a broken seal and a great flood. I have to live with the scratches but buffing with it full is a pain in the arse. All said and done, when I get a new place and a new tank, I'm going to do glass.
