Hey Reefers! I recently acquired a very large 100 gallon corner tank. After visiting some stores to figure out what to put into it I feel the need for salt--hyper-tension runs in my family . I've always been an artist-scientist by nature anyway so this seems like the obvious choice. I'm excited! And I really like the philosophy behind the BAR. So once again I'm glad that I moved to the Bay Area .
A couple things. My tank was used and has some scratches in it. It's acrylic so I believe that I can take these scratches out. Does anyone in the area have the tools to do this? I believe that this would include a belt sander, different grain sand paper (up to 2000!), and an electric buffer with plastics buffing solution. Or, does anyone know where I could acquire these things if no one has them to lend? I live in North Oakland.
Also, I'd love to read a couple books to get me going. I was thinking the second edition of The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, the Marine Aquarium Handbook: Beginner to Breeder (2009 version), and any other up-to-date books that anyone might suggest. Would anyone lend these to an overly patient yet excited noob ? Thanks!!
