Hi,
i bought second hand Juwel Rio 300 and owner said there is few minor scratches but shouldn't be able to see them once tank has been topped up with water.. so i check tank in dark and didn't spotted anything major - now kicking my self - however bought a tank because i thought it's a real bargain - Juwel Rio 300 for just £62 which included cabinet and light which wasn't working.. However - fixed light ( ballast had burn and was replaced) and today when i filled it up to see does it hold water in and there is no leaks got really disappointed.. i bought a filter, and tomorrow was planning to go pick up a gravel and other bits and bobs i need to finish setting up planted tank... was hoping to get it running by end of this week and now seems that i won't be able to start it for a few weeks until this is sorted out..
But now i don't wanna do it until i can sort out glass or if it's not repairable then i gonna have to give up on this one...
Can some one give some advice on this? should i try to polish them out with some sort of glass scratch remover or is there someone out there who can replace fish tank glass?
Does any one know a rough idea on price if i gonna end up replacing glass?
See pictures below...
Thanks for any advice.
P.S not scared of any DIY job so if someone fixed something like this then please share your experience
