It will be fine to use as a frag rack.

If it's intended for an acrylic tank I'm assuming it's less coarse than those intended for glass tanks so it shouldn't scratch your tank.

It will work on your tank, it just takes more scrubbing. Scrapers made for acrylic need to be softer to keep from scratching the acrylic.

so technically a acrylic mag will work on glass but a glass mag will not work with an acrylic
