are they scratches I.E. Gouges(something deep?) or scuffs(less then .5 of a mm taken off?), like surface abrations, either way you will never be able to get them compleatly out, they will always be there, but less noticable, to the point of almost not being able t see them...
If you have a orbital handheld buffer, used for polishing thet would be ideal fut a drill works too, just not as quick or strong.
lets see those pic...

Umm, No clue. I'd have to get my reciept for the tank, than add in the hours it takes. But would still be cheaper than store bought ones.
The only problem is when you want a custom tank, its normmaly more sqft than the tanks that you would buy at shops so the price is different.
to build these tanks, is cheaper than to buy an 180gallon acrylic tank from glass cages.
2 x 70x24x16
1 x 70x24x24
so thats a 180gallon and
2 100+ gallon tanks
with all the mats, and extra acrylic peices. i'm saving alota money lol.
while a normal 180gallon thats 72x24x24 goes for 600$ alone.

Sorry If i havent posted in a few days, Or posted pics. My camera has the pics but its dead.
We Just finished painting the back and sides blue ( finished )
All thats left to do now, is drill the plumbing, and let it sit in my room untill the other 2 are done.
O and i need to clean it, Its very dirty now ( alota dust from the sander )
we filled it with water, we are gona let it sit untill the corner plastic arrives ( to cover the pvc pipes in the tank, dont know what its called )
While its sitting we are gona start on the 180g
