Acrylic tank owners who have fixed scratches or any1 that can help

[michael]

ok so my brand new 750 is set up and running and has a few fish in it. First time cleaning the front panel I destroyed it. I cannot believe it honestly. i dont want to nor do I think I can drain the tank at this point. Is it possible to fix scratches on acrylic on the inside of the tank without harming the fish or removing water?

Lots of people have used Novus to repair scratches, but I beleive you will have to drain it down to at least below the scratches.

No help for you untill you post pics

J/K I think that you need to fix scratches with the tank drained to below them as well...

yeah michael i think its gonna be pretty hard to do it without draining the tank. and especially if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail. youre gonna have to drain and use some elbow grease to get it out. i find that the Novus stuff works great for only the finest scratches. anything you can feel with a nail and youre gonna need the power of a buffer/polisher
