I just acquired a used 100 gallon acrylic tank with a large canopy.
I have two questions about this. First of all, it seems to have some
scratches. Is there anyway to get rid of them, if so what product and
where do I get it. Also, on all my other tanks I use the Emperor 400
filter. I really like this filter. The problem is that with this
canopy, no filter will be able to hang on the back. Is there any kind
of filter that I can set in the cabinet under the stand, that will
handle a 100 gallon tank, if so what kind is best and where do I get
it? How many watts heater do I need for a hundred gallon tank? You
all have been so helpful with all my newbie fishkeeping questions.
Thanks.

AFAIK, tanks that size aren't usually run with box filters like that.
They're just not tough enough, and it would be uneconomical to have 3-4 of
them when you could simply set up a little sump to do the same job for
1/10th the price.

You can -try- to find a canister filter that will do it for you, but
that'll be really expensive too. Your best bet is simply a sump tank.

all sitted inside a 10-20g tank. you can put plants in there too if your
fishes are ones that like to eat plants.
