What? lol

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, or what you're doing for that matter
Can you rephrase it?:)
 
haha i was exited but anyways, i want to know if cleaning the outside of the tank leaves scuff marks since its acrylic? (like with a paper tower or some thing)
 
no, as long as you dont clean with an abrasive material you'll be ok. I use a terrycloth towell.

Cleaning oldtanks can be a real chore depending on the amount of lime buildup.

I would be carefull cleaning an acrylic tank if it has lime buildup. Even a soft cloth or towel can leave scratches behind. If you are willing to be patient, you can fill the tank with distilled water and let the scale dissolve. This can be helped along by adding a little vinegar to lower the pH and prevent the scale re-depositing once dissolved. On the outside, I would dab with a clean sponge soaked in white vinegar. No rubbing.

But if scriches dont matter give er all u got. Ge yer fav acid ona rag n rub til yer figers bleed. thatil werk!
