Have anyone try to buff out the scatches inside the tank before? people said that it's easy to do but ****, I can't get it to shine. I use the sand paper from 6000 to 12000 grit and since I can't use the polish solution inside the aquarium, it still has this hazeness looking. Please help!

You'll want to get the Micro-Mesh kit for aquariums. Reefgeek.com used to carry them, maybe they still do.

Follow the directions and take your time. It's the best thing for the inside and can be used when filled with water and live stock.

try the micromess with a magfloat. The acrylic particles will float up and be skimmed off if you have a skimmer
