Anybody use Acrylic Scratch Remover

[goose240]

I think this should fix the scratches without having to take out my livestock.

That kit is meant to take on scratches on the outside of the tank. The kits meant to remove scratchs from a tank filled with water are nothing more than extremely fine grades of wet/dry paper.

 

You can buy these kits online but it's usually a few very small pieces of sandpaper. You're better off finding a hobby shop or the like that carrys sheets of 3M Micro Mesh paper. Without looking it up I don't know where the micro mesh tops out at but I have used some that are 12000 grit.

 

It's not a task to take lightly... it's a lot of hard work and requires a bit of finesse to get a good result. Rather than type out a tutuorial on it do some googling to see what's involved. True you can do this with a tank full of livestock and I have but there is "dust" created and it can irritate fish and corals. I've sanded out several scratches in maintenance client's tanks but I try to keep it to a minimum and run the suction tube of a cannister filter right by where I am working.
