How hard is it to buff out a acrylic tank?

I have a chance to get a 60x24x24 bowfront but it needs to be buffed out
 
Not a prob
Depends on how deep the scratches are as to how you do it
Usually a combo of wet/dry sand papers and some polishing with novis
 
There are various kits available for this purpose. It is easy enough to do but takes a fair bit of time.
