    First of all I was abit lost trying to fit this thread into a forum. Anyway does anyone know any type of Aquarium Acrylic scrath remover. Im getting alot of scraths and scraps on my tank acrylic by using the magnetic algae remover. Its really not appealing :cry:.I tried using the biOrb scrath remover and cloth but its not so cheap for a little package of scrath remover and a cloth that only lasts one clean :eek:. Cant i buy a bottle of acyrlic scrath remover that actually removes the scraths :);D:confused::-/ ??????

    I moved it to the "general reef topics" forum. Fish tank brands and kits are for questions about specific brand names. Like finnex for instance.

    Make sure you are using an acrylic safe magnet cleaner. 2nd. Once you get scratches in acrylic you can only buff them out and most of the time you end up burning the acrylic creating a haze look. Basically when you scratch an acrylic tank it's there to stay, sorry.
