I have a glass aquarium and an acrylic terrarium. I am now thinking about buying or building a nice tall hex-style aquarium/terrarium for growing/displaying Nepenthes (in a visible place, so it has to look nice).
Is there anyone here who favors glass over acrylic/plastic/polyurethane or any synthetic (or vice versa) for any particular reason?
When I had my acrylic terrarium built, the builder said that some yellowing may occur because it would be exposed to so much flourescent light. That is the only thing -appart from some bending and distortion of the material which has occured after a few years.
Otherwise, how does the acrylic hold up to the humidity?
