it used to be a sump tank.. i thought it worth losing the 5 dollars if this does not work, but i plan on getting it and buffing back to freshwater tank material.. buuuuutttt what the heck do i need to get the job done.. someone help!?!?!?!!?

i heard of Novus for removing the scrathes .. but can i do this barehanded.. or do i need a buffing wheel.. ??? someone give me the set-by-step if you can

also what can i use to seal the bottom from those holes he drilled??

Novus is the best! Use a buffer unless you want to hand polish for months. How deep is the deepest scratch? You can glue acrylic patches over any holes in the tank.

Yes. You can. Google Novus for all the details.

also when i use the glue.. and then pour water into the tank.. will any chemical from the glue leaks into the water and make the water toxic..

should i coat the glue in silicone.
