It's going great actually. I'm wet sanding it starting with a 600 grit then moving to 1000, then 2000, and finally a 3000 grit. After that I applied the PlastX with a buffer ball attached to a drill and buffed the heck out of it. The finished product looks better than new in my opinion. Here's...

Hi, I'm in the process of polishing my acrylic tank. I'm using Macguire's PlastX to do the job. It's an automotive headlight restoration polish. The tank is coming out very nicely using this stuff. The question came to my mind of how to sterilize the inside of the tank so it is safe to put...

Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone. - Annakhil, I understand where you're coming from. There isn't much in my general area either and I've had to travel a couple hours to pick up on these deals but I'm sure that's still a lot closer than you would have to go.

Ya I didn't think it was good either. Well the female clown seems to be leaving the anemone's tentacles alone now. Actually today when I fed the fish, the female clown took a piece of krill down to her anemone I guess to feed it. The anemone took it right away so I'm thinking this is a good...

ok guys so I separated my clowns for a while from the anemone until it looked like it had a good foothold on something. I let the clowns back in the tank and they quickly recognized the anemone as their host. the female clown started trying to move the anemone and eventually moved it to the left...

Ya I've noticed that. Not much of anything out here as far as aquariums go. That 300gal is still sitting at aquarium odyssey but it's sold. thats about how big mine is just a few inches slimmer. You've got to convince the wife:lol: lots of great deals out there.

Thanks again everyone for the welcome. This was a double post tho ha sorry. Annakhil - The 10 gal I just got from walmart. It was a kit so that came with the filter, light hood and some start-up supplies. I have upgraded the lighting to a couple ZooMed 6500K for the plants. Also, my initial...

Thank you everyone. I'm already receiving some great advice!:thanks:

Hey Todd, ya this weather sure makes it tough to run these big tanks. It's either run the A.C. super cold and have a huge bill or go buy an expensive chiller! I'm hoping it starts to cool down soon cuz I dont know how much these little guys can take. The tank is cycling right now with just a few...

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try:thumb:

Ok, what size container? Will a 5 gallon bucket do? I dont have anymore tanks. And how long should I keep them separated for? Thanks

My 280 gal is too hot right now at about 85-86(Just look at where I'm from and you'll stop asking yourself why:lol:). Any tricks to lower temps in the mean time until I get a chiller? I know I've used ice in a bag before on my 10 gal but this seems impractical with the 280...Thanks

Hey guys, I just got a long tentacle anemone last night. I did all the proper acclimation procedures and he seemed to take well to the water. My problem is that he hasn't had the chance to attach himself to anything and I think my clowns are being too rough. I have another tank that is...

Hey guys, I'm brand new to the aquarium hobby(less than a couple months in). I found some great deals on craigslist and now I have three tanks; a 130 gal, 280 gal FOWLR, and a 10 gal planted tank. Anyway, just a quick intro but I'll post more specifics soon. I look forward to learning all I can...
