I picked up a used tank it's a 185 gal I say it's acrylic but my wife says its glass. 2 question how do I tell for sure? And one side of the tank is cloudy like it has not been kept clean. There is no algey on it just real cloudy how do I clean it up. Yes there is water and fish in the tank already. Thanks for any help so I can out the question to rest as to glass or not.

Pictures? Most acrylic tanks are lighter in weight, and most are cemented together rather than siliconed.

I usually tell by what Jeremy said, if it is glass you can see a bead of silicon on each corner.
