Re: [APD] Anyone Have Experience With Acrylic Tanks???

I'd ask them for a refund and send it back. Have you already ordered the 
stand and lights?
The circular scratches definitely look like they used something abrasive 
to polish with. They
may disappear when you fill it with water, but algae now has nice little 
crevices to entrench
itself on your front glass, sides, back. :-(     I'll remember this post 
and never ever get an
acrylic tank......nope.
