Fogged up glass

[kvalentine]

Hi. Wondering if anyone can help me figure out what's causing this haziness on my glass. I've tried scrubbing it off, I've tried a razor, I've even tried lime-a-way (carefully) and nothing seems to improve it. It's like it's etched...and there are weird patterns in it.

I think you will find that it is in fact etched. Buffing may remove some of it, and it usually isn't really noticeable when filled. I have a couple of old tanks like that, and use them anyway.

Yes I'm pretty sure that's what's going on too...So, no idea what could be causing it? I'm about to get a new tank and I'd like to avoid it happening all over again! I'm going to switch to different types of rock and substrate.

order alittle cerium oxide on ebay and buff it into the glass, this should get rid of it
