gabriel...what are u using to clean the outside of the acrylic panels? i got some adhesive left over from the brown sticker and want to make sure i dont scratch the outside of the panel while removing it.
i'm so anal about scratching it's not even funny!
i use this stuff.. works great.. i use it with a paper towel.

yeah BB is the way to go with an acrylic tank... it really reduces your chance of scratches....
i used a magnet for the 1st week and trashed it after it put a nice sized scratch on my tank.. i dont use them anymore.. for the hard to reach places i use a Kent pro scraper with a plastic blade.. work s really well and does not scratch so long as you take care of the blade... i replace my blade every 4-6 months when i feel that it is no longer smooth and flat.

Very nice tank and furniture stand.
Can envision make a tank with white bottom instead of clear acrylic?

Above, I recommended the great white magnet, with aquamops inserted between the supposed acrylic safe pad in the inside of the tank. It has to be a strong magnet, because you are adding another layer. It works very well. We also made the edge of the stand come up an extra two inches so there is no chance of the magnet dipping into the sand.
