Acrylic buffing
What is the best way to buff out scratches on an acrylic tank? Tank size 180 gallon.

Thank you so much. This is going to be my dream tank so I want it to look the best possible.

How do you do the inside of the tank??
Mines one year old and the scratches from scrapping the algae on the inside are out of control. Every cleaning equals more scratches.

There is no reason to be scratching the tank like that if you are careful around the sand bed. Maybe get a good magnet scubber and use a sleeve over the cleaning pad and be careful around the sand bed. This is the sleeve I am talking about. http://mightymagnets.com/algaeCutterBag.html

I cut old filter sock material the size of the inside mag pad. It sticks easily and is easy to remove and clean. Cost nothing, no scratches and does a job on glass or acrylic tanks.
