Does any body know where to get the high grit sand paper? Im rebuilding my 225 and want to make it look new again. I need to polish the sides and front along with removing out some scratches. I bought a scratch removal kit to see how hard it will be, but the kit is not enough for three sides of my tank.

If the tank is full of water check out this. I havent tried it but it looks nice. You can attach it to a magnetic algae cleaner.

I had good results when I had an acrylic tank with Micro-Mesh velcroed to a a Tiger Shark magnet. I used grits 1500 to 12000. I still have the mesh, sell it too you cheap if you need it, since it is used.

Local bodyshop, or autoparts store should have lots of fine sandpaper. Norton makes a 3000 grit vinyl 6" round, i think it is vinyl anyways. I use it on my sander for doing hoods and major flat panels.
