10 months AI Sol Blue LEDs- take a look

It all depends on how deep the scratches are. If they are slight then you start with a finer grit and it doesn't take too long. Deeper takes longer. I only do one side at a time, because it's a lot of work. It really pays to take your time and use each grit thoroughly.

Thank you for this. I need to try this as soon as possible. What magnet did you use to attach the sandpaper with?

Did everything survive the power outage?

I have a mighty magnet. I just use a rubber band wrapped around the sides to hold the paper on. I put it right over the pad.

I got power back last night. When I got up this morning I saw that 2 Hawkins blues had RTN'd. I had fragged my large Hawkins because it was too large. It's a very touchy coral and only a few pieces have survived.

Micro mesh makes a kit specifically for magnavore. Each grit is mounted on a pad that fits the mag. Lots of time, but works.

Thanks. I have been busy tearing out overgrown colonies and re-aquascaping. I got this nem three weeks ago and put it in the middle of the back section to add some motion and interest. I love anemones and clowns.

I cannot thank you enough for the tip to use a metal spatula against the front pane to get rid of coralline algae. I got a 28" deep tank so reaching in is a chore. I took down about 98% of it without any scratches. The best part is that the metal spatula didn't even dull (since its metal lol). I have been searching for years to find a solution for this and you just gave it to me. Cannot thank you enough.

The next part is to try to buff out all the scratches from the acrylic.

Paul,
How old is your tank?

 

[reefkeeper2]

I believe it's 8 years old.
