I have the hook and a 125 gallon arcylic tank. The only thing is its dirty and needs to be cleaned. I don't know anything about acrylic so I want to make sure this thing will clean up ok. Thanks.

I dont know about arcylic tanks but before to use anything on the tank to clean it, try it in a place that doesnt show to make sure it doesnt scratch the tank

acrylic tank will fade away as time passby, whether with scratch or not.
buffing is the only way you can give clear picture but not 100% at all.
sometimes, tiny hairline crack manifest in the panel itself when old.

good luck. pls keep us posted for any development.

I picked up the tank today. The panels look to be in good shape just VERY dirty. I cleaned a small spot to see what I was in for. I think it will clean up nice but will require some polishing to get to its finest. A little more of a project than I was hoping for but for the price its worth it. It came with a good sized sump filled with a ton load of bio balls. A canister fiter I'm not sure if its good (Fluval FX5 is on the way). And a couple of pumps. This tank was a salt water tank for 13 years and has been empty for about 2. So the project starts here. I will keep a log going for those that are interested in this kind of stuff. Pics tomorrow.
