The go to standard for aquariums has always been glass. Over the years the type of glass used an aquariums has changed a lot, and today there are options that are both very strong and offer an extremely clear view of your tank.
For smaller tanks under 240 gallons the most popular option in aquariums is glass. With small tanks the disadvantages of glass such as weight aren’t that much of an issue. Also glass will hold up to more day to day abuse than acrylic, mainly being harder to scratch than softer acrylic.
One complaint with glass has been the light green tint of glass being used in home aquariums. In recent years a new type of low iron glass called Starphire glass has been introduced. The glass provides much truer color than traditional glass, and still offers the strength of regular glass. Many people request that only the front and side viewing panes be made of Starphire, but any combination is available.
