     I think they are one and the same. There are a wide variety of grades 
     and features available for acrylics though.  I believe grade G (maybe 
     FF as well) acrylic is typically what you shoot for in aquarium 
     applications.  There are also abrasion and UV protective coatings that 
     can be applied.
