Ok, just wanted to know what you guys recommened to get rid of scratches on an acrylic tank. It has a decent amount of scratches on the front. Some are minor and some are a little deeper than others. I was given some sandpaper kit that has like 7 different grades of sandpaper but it seemed like it made it worse. I can almost tolerate the tank now and I would rather not make it any worse than it is. So if somebody knows a foolproof way of getting rid of scratches, besides buying a new tank, I would appreciate any advice. Thanks

I am wondering if the tank is really bad,if you could empty it out and clean it real good.Then lay it front side down and put a layer of clear acylic,or enamel paint on the inside. I do alot of painting(automotive,and boats)and this seems very doable to me.It would surly remove(fill in) ALL the scratches.even the really deep ones.
