Scratch removal
Is it possible to remove scratches in your tank while it's full of water and fish? Thinking of using like 1200 or 2000 grit wet/dry sand paper

IMO/E it’s near impossible to remove (noticeable) glass scratches with or without water in tank.

Perhaps a good spot for a magnetic frag holder or let coralline grow over it !

You need to use cerium oxide powder to remove fine scratches and I don't see how you would use that in a filled tank, it gets very messy. |
