Seriously tho that sucks, i freak out at the slightest hint of a scratch so i cant even imagine having my tank eaten like that.

I dont know the tank is full to the top with coral.

Those look like small scratches that can be buffed out manually with one of the Pentair or similar kits without shutting the tank down or taking anything out.

It’s acrylic, so it’s going to get all scratched up almost regardless of what you do. Small scratches can be done easily by hand. Once the tank gets scratched up more, or starts looking hazy, you can use a strong magnetic algae scraper to perfrom a whole surface buff. It probably won’t look like new, but it will relatively look like new. Same thing...you don’t have to take anything out of the tank.

Personally I havent had any issues with scratches over the last 8 years. looked practically new up until a few months ago when it started getting permanent snail trails lol.
