ARGHHH so I was just trimming some of my plants in my hex 5 tank. I was finished and went to reach for the light hood and I leaned my scissors into the acylic. I left a scratch that I can actually feel.

The only way I can find online to fix it is to do some wet sanding with fine grit sandpaper. I would have ot go out and buy all of the grit types. Is there anything anyone has used that it a quick fix for this scratch?

urgh... I feel your pain... I used a mag float on my 5 gallon, before I realized that it wasnt the acrylic magfloat I have, but the regular one... now I have a haze mark on the top of the tank where I began cleaning. stinks. now, every time I look at the tank, I always find myself looking at the marks I made.... urgh!

I think the DFS site has an acrylic repair kit.

As much as I have to say it the one on DFS is http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...83&pcatid=3883

This item is quite pricey and while I do not like to do a lot of shopping at PetSmart their Acrylic Scratch repair kit is a lot less expensive.

So while they do not do some things right this one is worth the purchase as far as I am concerned. It is also made by Seaclear who makes a LOT of the acrylic tanks in use now so they ought to know what to do to fix them.
