Can't you polish scratches out of acrylic tanks Tangokitty?
I always thought you could

Sorry Rabbut, not planning on selling

I've got some fish on order for it tomorrow.
6 red top Blue Ice's so looking forward to getting them ,
however im going to split my tank and allow them a week or so to get used to the current tenants. I've learnt from my past mistakes of introducing fish to find them nipped all over the next day, and i think these are gonna be small as well. Think i need more rock for more hidy-holes.

Stay tuned

Thanks Jen.

As i said in my last post i had some red top ice blues on order and they came in today

Let me know what you think.

I've sectioned of the tank to stop them all fighting and fingers crossed will keep it like this for a few days. May have to get some more rock for them all to hide away as well.

Not much to look at at the moment, but im sure in time they will start looking amazing, the dominent male has already come out among them.

I have befroe, but how many times can you do it? And after you need to do a major water change to get all the gunk out of the water. I polished out the scratched when I went form Mariine to a freashwater, but that was like 5 years ago and it is scratchy again. the bad part is is that's where the algae always starts to grow first inhancing all the scratches!

Your tank is very stunning! I live the rimless look of it!

Looks cool!! The fish look great!!

That's a 37 usg tank, right? About 11 fish max is recommended. About 1 fish per 3.5 gallons. That's on the small side for mbuna. If fish keep getting beat up you may need to take the culprits to the lfs.
