Starting over, questions abound!

I'd prob make it worse. Ahhh acceptance....

It will not be as noticeable when it is full of water, I can guarentee that.
Were are they location wise? Is it possible to but something like a large coral
In front of it? You wouldn't notice it as much then

 

[jeffopentax]

I only noticed after i filled it, though that was the first time it was at eye level as well. They're pretty much in the middle of the pane. Maybe once i get stuff in there the eye will automatically look past them. I dunno.... It is what it is!

Cerium Oxide is what you'll need along with a multi speed buffer and a lot of elbow grease.

You'll need to do it while the tank is empty, but it can be done. I've done it before. I have half a container of cerium oxide that I'd be willing to sell to you.

Now is the time to take care of it before you have any livestock in it.

Let me know if you're interested in the cerium oxide.

 

[jeffopentax]

Could you give me a brief idea what's involved? I don't have buffer, but pretty sure you can buy pads/attachments to use in a drill.

you might get away with clear nail polish,might take the noticabilty away from it

Does that fill them in? Need more info please

 

[pulpfiction1]

ive read just paste it on then wipe off,the scratch should hold some,then reapply if needed

 

[jeffopentax]

Think i'll try that. Can't make it worse (i don't think!)

Cerium Oxide

 

[jeffopentax]

Cerium oxide comes with too much risk for me. Think I'll learn to live with scratches . Figured with all the help I've been given, perhaps I should share a pic of where I'm at. Still need to add trim to top of stand and corners of tank itself, and paint stand. Stand won't fit through door if i add top trim now! Two back sides of tank have been painted black since picture was taken.

Looking sweet man!

 

[EricTMah]

Looks good!

Show us some pics of the external overflow you made.

 

[jeffopentax]

I went with an internal, so I can put tank as close to the walls as possible. It's going in a corner.

 

[Poseidon]

I hate to be a wet blanket, but, do you have those bulkheads backwards?

 

[jeffopentax]

I have them in backwards on purpose. Again, space considerations. Gasket on wet side, silicone on dry side. Sealed fine as far as I can tell.

 

[Poseidon]

Ahh, so your throwing it right into a corner eh?
Better make sure you are able to access it somewhat, in case of emergency of course

 

[jeffopentax]

As long as the tank seam doesn't burst, I should be able to get to any issue

 

[jeffopentax]

Anyone know of a temporary way to get a watertight seal with pvc pipe without gluing? I want to be certain my plumbing will do what I expect it to before i set up in my house. Have everything glued except for connections to tank and sump.
