Yesterday as I was driving home from work, I found an acrylic 25 gallon long (36x10x16" tank on the side of the road! It was the highlight of my day.



It's a bit scratched up on the inside (but no major, deep scratches), so I was wondering what product to use to buff out the scratches.


As for what I'm going to do with it, I want to do a SA biotope tank. I'm thinking a school of corys, some cardinals, and something for the top. Anyone have any suggestions? I want hatchetfish but unfortunately I don't have a lid for the tank. Is it possible to make one?

It's going to have all live plants and (Malaysian) driftwood, so I need some suggestions on some good plants to put in. I know I want some corkscrew val (that's SA, right?). Some tropica swords are probably going in there, too.

Thanks for any help!

(Also, any suggestions on what filter to get are welcome as well)[/font]

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Hi,
The last time I checked, the local LFS had a rubbing
compound that all but eliminated the worst scratches
in that type of tank. Call around town and see if
you can't find a similiar product.

A couple of small pieces of glass should take care
of covering the access holes in the top of the tank.
