Still teaching fellow reefers for years to come, even though you're not here with us physically, you're in all of our hearts💯❤️🙏 so many reefers have yet to see just how grateful and thankful the hobby and hobbyist are to have your shared knowledge. Fly High Brother! I know you're up there fragging about Heavens Across❤️🤣

I've seen so many acrylic tanks in my local forum and was always hesitant because I wasn't sure what refinishing would involve. Now I may take on another project. It turned out great! Amazing how the haze cleared.

I literally only sold Acrylic tanks as a service professional. I love them and they are such a reward to return them to new.

Try using a little less buffing compound. It will reduce your slinging. Also "priming" the pad with compound helps. Some auto detailing channels cover it pretty well. Tank looks great!

I’ve been waiting for this video & You Didn’t Disappoint🙌🏼 Outstanding Jake🤙🏼

And.. great video. A new Reef Builders video makes a day brighter.

Jake Adams lives every reefers dream! I love how everything is documented :)

For a first time this came out great Jake! Can't wait to see the next episode on this reef

You are one Reefing genius jake..

Good job Mr Adams I say a job well done.

The tank looks very good in my opinion , good job 👍 👍

Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

can't wait to see this tank running with all the fish and corals

Rest in peace Jake. You are missed!

Wow. What a change, looks great jake.

Wow this is a great video. It looks AMAZING!!

我一直好奇这种鱼缸，如果花了就是否要报废，原来还可以这样修复!利害，长知识了！

My question is what compound and polish you used after the sanding ?

Wow crazy resto project but gives hope to others who want to do the same thing

Tank looks great!! and nothing is perfect..

You know, I kind of really like the look of that pond. It's almost like looking over a reef from the surface like I used to do in Florida. I almost want to build one.

Great Job We learned on two 300 gallon tanks at the store ! If you think this was bad try polishes Glass tank ! (Suck does not cover it !)

Amazing Jake!

Good work mr Jake my frend! U a very good boy! 🥰🐶

I’ll never go back to large glass tanks… acrylic is way stronger and clearer! Add water and your polishing will look allot clearer than glass

I once had a 8 foot 240 was nice two guys could carry it. the same tank in glass min. of 4 strong guys better with 6. for really large tanks acrylic might be the way to go?? IDK I sure do love my low iron glass aquariums tho. but I have thought about a large acrrlic for fish only just as I dont want to deal with the weight of glass. great vid jake! maybe as a fallow up you can get that guy on to do a true tutorial!

How many times can you refinish an acrylic tank before you compromise the structural integrity?

I hate acrylic tanks but they do have there benefits crystal clear. But overpriced everyone I know who owned one over 5-8 years starting leaking. Great job 👏 thanks for your great job

I did a glass tank using these exact steps once, it took hours 😩 came out nice though

Shooooot, that came out great!!!! This window company I used to work for my old boss wanted to try that out except we were removing hard water stains and a few deep scratches buttt we were also sanding/buffing/polishing glass windows to a business building up in Richmond Virginia. We didn't have to use that many different kinds of sand paper grits. TBH I think we only used 2 of them and then 2 different kinds of polishing pads. It was definitely a pretty awesome experience and now I can say that I have learned how to resurfaced glass windows. EXCEPT I HONESTLY FORGOT WHAT THE CREAM STUFF WAS CALLED AND WHICH POLISHING PADS TO GET.

I think it came out great. I did the aame exact thing a few years ago. I got a 180 for 50 bucks from my lfs and it was scratched up. It came out new when i was done. I used the product Novus and all the sandpaper i can find lol. I did mine mostly by hand though.

Good work

I’m interested to see how you deal with the hair algae on that rock, I think that could help a lot of people.

Can you get scratches out of StarFire glass aquarium?

Free is never free brother! 😆

Can u flame polish the corners, like where the small scratches are on inside, if u lightly hit it with a small blowtorch can u tidy up them a bit maybe? 🤷‍♂️🥰🐶

Did he ever say if this tank is glass or acrylic???

How many gallons is that beauty?

I see you 400, I see you... :)

Hey 👋🏾 how you be man!! #1stComment

Have always wanted an acrylic tank because the clarity is better than the best low-iron glass, but despite my best efforts I still scratch my glass if I look at it the wrong way or my neighbor farts on a Thursday this has always been a deal breaker. I am extremely anal about scratches. I honestly thought you just had to use a three-step novus kit and a couple hours of elbow grease and that was that. I had no idea it was THIS much of a pain in the ass. Acrylic is definitely not in my future.

A little more practice and you can earn a side gig finishing guitar bodies lol

dissapointing with the corners, just use hands for the corners,....

😉😇☺

scope creep :-)
