Well after finding a good deal on a 180 and wanting to do a custom cabinet design for my tank I decided it's time to change things around. So I picked up a tank from jurg. It's a acrylic tank that has been used and scratched up but all in all in good shape.
So u wanted to learn how to polish acrylic. After talking to few people with experience doing so. I took a crack at it.
This was sanding with 1000 then 1500 then mothers plastic polish .
Then found out Boat owners warehouse sells novas. It's a much better product.
It's super clear. And it's not that hard to do.
Now that I know I can polish acrylic. I jumped to building another stand.
I'm starting off with frame work and the. Wrapping it with finished wood.
I researched a little online and found a few good build for 72" stand without front center brace. so was going to buy untreated wood but decided not to as I have 30 pcs of PT 2x6 laying around my house. So after 7 hours I think I have a pretty strong stand. I have 2 more cross braces I will install on the top to support the plywood.
