Well just when ya think you are finished with the reeeealyyy stupid aquarium mistakes......
When I installed my hallides I nticed that there was a white hazy film on the inside of my glass (only on the starfire front of course)
Well after some reading I determined that the glass had been etched and that the only way to remove it was to wash by acid. Well seeing as how the tank was already full and stocked I was stuck......Or so I thought, I found a few guys who had similar issues and had managed to polish the inside of the tank while full using fine grit wet dry.
After a test run in an inconspicuous area I sandwiched the paper between my cleaning magnet and the glass and started to work. Well it works but it is very slow and hard going.
Jump forward to last Monday.....I got home from work late in the evening but decided to give the tank a quick once over. I get a new peice of sandpaper setup and start to work only to hear an unusual grinding noise........yep you guesed it I put the paper on the WRONG SIDE OF THE GLASS and without the water to lubricate it there was a large 3" wide band of scratches AIEEEEEEEE
Well I lucked out in that all of the scratches are pretty fine and I should be able to polish them out but what a pain!!!!
Sigh
Any ideas to get rid of the haze or speed up the polishing process
