Re: Acrylic tank scratches and neighbors with good intentions

You really want to use the micro -mesh stuff. Its quite expensive but it is
the only product that can polish acrylic without removing the water or even
taking out the fish. Plain or even wet/dry sandpaper is not usually fine
enough to remove the scratches without having to buff the acrylic afterwards
with polishing compound. You will need several different grits of the stuff
and if you are doing it while the tank has occupants than you will need some
of the finest grit stuff they have.
