sorry for not responding...totaled my car in a bad accident a week ago today 
but anyways! thanks man I'd love some and by the looks for your FTS's you have plenty of it! And that means I'll also get to come up and see your tank in person.
BACK TO MY TANK
I'm ordering two of the Janvil Glass Restore systems that I have heard produce amazing results...The only thing I've been warned of is their disclaimer calling for "a little elbow grease". From what I've heard it's more like 3 hours of constant buffering with all your strength. If this set doesn't work I'm buying their silver package that supposedly works with next to no effort from what I've been told and because of how much I spent on this tank, stand and sump, I will be under what I would've spent on this new by a lot even with the more expensive cleanser. It's called Glass Revive and that can be found here--> http://www.janvil.com/glass_revive.htm
This is the product I am ordering, it's pretty easy to find on the page http://www.janvil.com/glass_restore.htm
This should arrive this week and I'll be moving my tank this week as well so we shall see how this all works out for me! I'm hoping this stuff is as good as they say and yes, I will be posting a step by step picture guide of what I do while removing the scratches.

The Chicago Experience!
I have to totally agree here. Making the stand taller makes an incredible difference on viewing the tank! I wish I would have done that to my setup.
Makes all the difference in the world!

hey Ed, sorry to hear that you totaled your car!!! You ok? anyone get hurt?
OP
OP
Meh, I'm lucky to be fine said the police/emt/firemen. I tore my MCL and ACL and am cut up and bruised bad...my airbags didn't deploy and i crashed straight on into the car infront of me after my brakes locked up. At least this was a newer car to me and the insurance company's inspector is liable as he had said the brakes were perfect and would be fine for 5 more years...not one year. I'm not talking the pads, those were replaced, I mean the cables and stuff.
Anyways, I am most likely going to use a buffer and drill to work the scratches, I don't think I have the patience right now to scrub by hand.

thats my work station. tomorrow I'm getting the drill and buffer out and am going to hit this thing hard. I know that it's hard to tell from the pictures because of glare/flash but the scratches in that little area are noticably fading and becoming shallower i guess you could say. word of advice just from the two hours i spent on a 5"x5" square of glass...use a drill from the start.
The bowl only has water in it to keep the buffing surface moist as told to in the directions on the bottle.
tomorrow I will be using a drill and buffer so stay tuned!

Skimmer
If the tank is only 90 gallons, would this skimmer be enough?
http://www.saltysupply.com/Reef-Octopus-DNWB-110-Protein-Skimmer-p/oc1023.htm
I am planning on having the tank be pretty heavily populated with corals, especially SPS, and smaller fish/inverts.
I'm trying to develop an idea for a sump and figured I'd start with a skimmer, any suggestions if not this?
