Soon. I have to spend a few days cleaning the mirrors, replacing the motors in the fish and repainting some of the coral...

Wow! Congratulations on TOTM for Nov. That's a huge honor and well deserved IMO.

It's late, I spent one hour at work and another three tonight reading this entire thread closely.

What I can say that hasn't already been said before so I will just say thank-you to you and your wife for a beautiful tank and showing me just what is possible with a dream, gumption and big wallet.

Perhaps I missed it but were you able to buff out the scratches in the acrylic?

The scratching that was being done by the male Blue Throat trigger have been dealt with....but there is a constant accumulation of assorted scratches caused by the fish and urchins. I have not spent much time working on them, but have all the tools necessary to remove any scratches that truly bother me.

The part about the scratches that tends to bother me the most is that the scratches provide a foothold for algae/coraline to grow. The mag cleaner doesn't remove the algae from the scratches and I have to reach into the tank and manually rub the algae out off scratches.

I've also found that really small scratches just tend to go away on their own through regular mag float cleaning.
