    Ok this is my 110 gallon acrylic restoration project. I currently have a 28 gallon bowfront but i wanted something bigger. So i got ahold of this 110 gallon tank that was in dire need of fixing. Im talking about broken hood and stand. Backyard bobs version of a vho system and a sump i think was built before i was born. Then we get to the tank. To be honest it looks like someone let there kid at it with a vibrating sander with 80 grit and a set of keys. So anyways im like cool this will give me something to do and time to save money up for it when im done bringing the tank back to its original luster. Boy... i didnt know what i was getting into. Lets just say novus isnt what it says it is even on the scratches that you cant feel with your finger nail. All it does is hide the scratches not get rid of them. Yeah looks great if the light isnt at the exact place the scratch is.

    Ok im blubbering but there is my start. I will post pictures asap. Looks like ill be going from 600 to 3000 then novus to finish it and i mean the whole tank.
