Hi guys I know it's been a bit. Time and money constraints made me not able to work on the tank like I wanted. But I'm back now and here's my progress. I've got both pieces of plastic off he had on there and cleaned the majority of the residue left. I still have some areas that I can feel sticky residue left on it. I'm using a scraper but it doesn't seem to want to come up fully. 1st question is there a product I can use to remove it safely without melting the acrylic? I don't care about scratches it's on the bottom so no one will see it. I just don't want to weaken the acrylic in any way.
I found some 12x12 panels and I got 3 of them one to test drilling and an extra just in case. I also got a hole saw and some weld on. I'm considering just sealing the bottom completely and drilling the back. 2nd question, looking at this back panel do you guys think I can safely drill this back panel? Since it's blue I wondered if that coloring had changed the acrylic strength or consistency. I'll attach pictures of the bottom holes and the back so you guys can see and see what you think. Thanks for your help.
