After Restoration

After Restoration
Notice after restoration the acrylics is so clear that you can clearly see the background letters and the irregularities of the bottom side of the seam.
This demo only address the scratches of the acrylics.
This demo does not address the issue with the seam. We have another process that can remove the poorly glued seam.

Pic(1): Notice you can direcly see thru the acrylics and clearly read the words (ALL-IN-ONE) underneath. The transparency is so good that you can even see the extra glue on the other side of the acrylic slab and the bubbles in the seam.
Pic(4): Notice the difference between the top and the bottom. The bottom literally is opague while the top is totally trransparent after restoration. Note: this demo did not try to restore the poorly glued seam nor restore the back side of the acrylics slab. For complete restoration, a tank should not be holding any live stock. This example will give you a more realistic view when you want to restore your tank while not planning to move the inhabitants.

All 24"(H) tanks in the regular series are made with 1/2" unless otherwise specified.

They can be drilled just that the walls are not as thick I would like and thus more likely to crack being bumped upon when all the pipe dangling out.
