Hey guys,

I've got a 6 gallon eclipse nano with some scratches in it. They're light scratches, but there's a lot of them and they pretty much go top to bottom. Is there a way to polish them out? I heard of someone a while back that found some acrlyic polishing pads that he'd attach to his magnets and polish them out this way? Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Micro-Mesh
It is a little pricey, but good stuff that will last you several projects. I got the wood kit it looks like the best deal for you buck. You do need several grades so you can work the scratches out but by the time you get to the 12000 grit the scratches are too small to be seen by the human eye.
