Do the exact same thing...
 
I did a 90 gallon and used a random orbiting sander for the flat faces and did the rounded corners by hand.
 
I just sanded and buffed a 55G Truvu. Be careful with the palm sander around the rounded corners. You could be creating a lot more work for yourself if you dig into the corners, especially with the heavier grit sandpaper. But yeah, like others mentioned, hit the corners by hand and it'll turn out nice.
Also, I only use the 400 grit in areas with deep scratches. If there aren't any deep scratches in an area (if there's just a little haze or fogginess), I would skip the 400 and even the 800. No need to put in scratches where there aren't any.
Good luck!
