Unhappy Polishing scratches on the inside of my acrylic tank?

I tried doing a search, but as usual it was too busy to work.
This is a truly fish only acrylic tank. Only fish, coral skeletons and reproductions. I pay very close attention to my inside cleaning pad. Well I guess I didn't pay close enough this last time and I now have scratches, some of them deep enough to feel with your finger nail. My scratch removal kit says that it can be done while the fish are in the tank. I can’t help but think those particles will cause problems getting caught in their gills.
This is a 225 W/ large fish. About an 8" Queen angel, big about 8" Naso, big tusk, big Niger and a few more. I would use my Mag float to hold the sandpaper on the inside and polish it until it isn't visible, it's pretty bad.
I have no place to house the fish if I have to tear it down, which would be a nightmare in itself.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
