Acrylic aquarium scratch repair without emptying the tank.

[@MattQ1987]

Bro thanks for doing this video! I was so confused by the website instructions. This helped a lot!

[@skier2252]

very nice, what sand paper did you use to make your lower grit pads?

[@tainchains]

I bought a $65 kit which only included the pads. Do you think there is a way that I could use a mag float to work toth the pads? I did not order the magnet from Mighty Magnet I thought it came with the pads.

[@DaquanJohnson]

You could try it, but the mighty magnet is much stronger than the mag float.

If I i have a scratch that’s super tiny like a quarter of an inch can I do this whiles there’s fish in the tank?

[@DaquanJohnson]

Jr cell You sure can. I did it while there were fish in the tank.

Daquan Johnson thanks you just earned yourself a subscription my guy

[@craigparish521]

Great presentation, I was moving my rocks around and a few fell over. Guess what I have a few scratches in my brand new Clear for Life 50 gal. Thank you for the info !

[@christophermacias4007]

I have same issue with my aquarium . I have a fluval407 canister filter. Woukd that clear out the acrylic or would you suggest using the mini nax and reactot? Tia

[@DaquanJohnson]

That will work as well.

[@christophermacias4007]

@Daquan Johnson awesome thanks!!! Should i clean out the filter after?

[@j.kimmer1509]

Thank you for this. i have hope

[@ronnierexx]

Thanks for this man! This looks like the deciding video on whether or not I should spend the money on the setup. I bought a used 300 gal in rough shape and I'm hoping this will take care of the cloudiness. You think its safe to do it with the fish in there?

[@DaquanJohnson]

I did it with fish in the aquarium and everything turned out fine. My tank had some bad scratches too. I would recommend using some type of mechanical filtration to remove the sanded off acrylics from the water.

[@ronnierexx]

@@DaquanJohnson right on man sounds good! I went ahead and bought it all.

[@elementsoflife000]

@@ronnierexx end results?

[@ronnierexx]

@@elementsoflife000 it looks brand new

[@smooterd]

Could you use those pads for the outside I have tried novas but got some deep scratches on the outside. And would I have to use a paste or water

[@mrmiltic]

Can you use the kit with fish in the water

[@richiesquest3283]

Would this work on glass

[@YoureChefs]

Is there a link to the items shown ? Sorry if im missing it ;(

[@DaquanJohnson]

I just added links to the items in the description. Sorry for not thinking to do that when I uploaded the video.

[@YoureChefs]

@@DaquanJohnson Thank you for your very prompt response 👍 😀 🙏

[@elementsoflife000]

Do you think the flipper magnet is strong enough to sand the tank compared to the magnet that came in the kit you bought?

[@DaquanJohnson]

No. These magnets are much stronger than the flipper.

[@dperryp]

Does the kit come with the magnets?

[@DaquanJohnson]

No. You have to order the magnets seperate. The magnet size coresponds to the thickness of the acrylic of you aquarium.

[@pga7602]

great content! Can you tell me what adhesive you used to glue the sandpaper to the pad? was it just super glue?

[@DaquanJohnson]

I used silicone.

[@pga7602]

@@DaquanJohnson Coo, thank you sir.

[@chrisethridge2348]

Good video. Subscribed

[@dennishou5892]

Very nice! How thick is your acrylic? Was it hard to move the magnets?

[@DaquanJohnson]

The acrylic is about 1/4”. It was easy to move the magnet 🧲. The last two grits were hard though.
