last 3 tanks i've made i asked for just the exposed edges to be polished but they all came back fully polished... its probably more work for the people to figure out witch edges to be polished then it is to just do the hole thing. i guess a rough sanded edge would have more surfice area then a polished edge which would giving you a stronger bond? not really sure though.

for the sides left unsiliconed in the finished product, they should be polished so you don't cut yourself. or not, your choice, it really makes no difference. For edges that are to be siliconed, it is far better to have them a bit rough. not a huge problem if they're polished thuogh i don't think.
