ACRYLIC AQUARIUM OVERVIEW:

Acrylic is a durable, lightweight plastic ideal for larger Aquariums. They are easier to move because they are so lightweight, but acrylic is very easily scratched making it very difficult to clean. Getting a piece of debris or gravel stuck in your sponge while your cleaning and scraping the sides of the tank is a common cleaning disaster for acrylic Aquariums. Fortunately, you can buff out the scratches with some careful planning and buffing. Edges are held together by a bonding process that makes the seams stronger than seams in glass aquariums.  It’s easier to mold acrylic into nontraditional shapes if you’re looking for something a little less square. Acrylic also gets some brownie points for being easier to drill for bulk-head fittings. One of the major cons is acrylic is extremely expensive in comparison to glass aquariums.

Acrylic aquarium advantages:

1. Strength: As strange as it may seem, the truth is that acrylic is stronger than glass. It requires a thinner acrylic sheet to hold the same amount of water as a thicker glass tank, which means less weight.
2. Easy to move: Due to its light weight, acrylic aquariums are also easy to move from one place to another, even if they are full of water.
3. Resistance: Even glass aquariums are resistant, but they are not as resilient as acrylic. This material won't shatter if you drop it by accident, as long as it's not a huge shock. Although it scratches easily, acrylic is generally more durable than glass.
4. Variety: Since acrylic is a flexible plastic sheet, it is easy to shape it. In other words, if you want a curved or oddly shaped tank, go for acrylic.
5. Image clarity: Unlike glass, acrylic does not distort the image on the other side of the panel. You'll be able to admire your goldfish in all its glory, as well as the water feature you plan to create. Glass usually has more of a green tint (source).
6. Variability: Another significant advantage is that you can drill into the acrylic tank to connect pipes, overflow systems or other fittings. You can't do this with glass without risking it shattering.
7. Heat Maintenance: Unlike glass, acrylic doesn't dissipate heat quickly, so you don't have to turn on the tank heater as often. While most aquarium heaters are energy efficient, using them sparingly can still save you some electricity bills.

Conclusion
Acrylic aquariums may cost more, but they are stronger and more durable than glass. They're also about five times lighter, making them more comfortable to move, more flexible, easier to drill, and even better at maintaining temperature, helping you save on running costs for your aquarium heater.
