Ok, I was about post up in the forum to sell my 55 gal when I noticed that my little sister used a streaker (a certain type of tagging marker for those who dont know). What would you guys suggest to use that wont damage or scratch the acrylic?

If it is a standard 55G tank then it is not acrylic
... I am not exactly sure what you are asking, can you rephrase it please

Ok, its a 50 gal then, TruVu. My sister got a hold of my marker (called a streaker), scribbled her name on the tank and now it wont come off. What solutions can I use to get the markings off the acrylic without harming the surface of the tank?

I would suggest using warm water and salt solution, but to be honest I doubt anyone here really knows for sure how to get rid of marker pen from their fish tanks.

vaseline will take it off without harming the acrylic.

I imagine that acrylic polishing compounds would be best,

oh yeah and heres a safe way, get your toothpaste out, put on a damp cloth and rub on the tank in cycler movements, it will take a while but it will come off. then wash off the toothpaste. And no im not kidding try it it works.
