 I am considering setting up a larger tank  (> 100 gal) and have
received conflicting advise.  My brother swears that glass is the only
way to go, that plexiglass has problems (although scratching is the
only one I remember.) The local shops all have horror stories about
all the glass tanks they have had which broke.  As I am located in CA
I am conjecturing that the local earthquakes could have had something
to do with this.  Is there any consensus as to which type of tank
would better survive an earthquake?  What is the general run of
opinions on the choice?  (If people will e-mail to me, I will
summarize and pose.)
