Re: Acrylic tank scratches and neighbors with good intentions

["Barbie" <barbie@fishaholics.org>]

Or, if the tank has a clear back, just empty it and turn it around...

That's one of those things that will just lose you a friend and caretaker, IMO. 
 She wouldn't have ruined it on purpose, and its a terrible thing to have 
happen, but I doubt she'd pay to fix it.

Good luck with the scratch removal kit if you get it.  They're quite a bit of 
work.  Sorry to hear of your terrible experience!

  You could try the scratch removal kit. Drs. Foster and Smith sells one for 
around $30. If that doesn't work, you can still salvage the tank by taking it 
to a plexiglass place. I know of one here in Tacoma. What a serious bummer!!!

    Thats a large tank, and alot of money you put into it. There are products 
    that should help or remove the scratches, but in my opinion the tank will 
    never be the same. You might think about speaking with her, and maybe even 
    having her at least pay for the scratch removal kit, if the talk goes over 
    well. Good luck, Aaron.
