Is there anyway to get rid of "scratched" glass on the inside of an established aquarium?
 
I am very interested in this as well, I got just into saltwater AND into rock work, and I scratched up the glass :cry:
 
you can buff them out with special compounds, but of course you would have to drain and dry out the tank. Not worth it in my opinion
 
jks1 is right u need to buff them out. I went down to a local glass repiar shop and they said they would lend me the buffer and thhe rubbing compound for a $40 deposit. So i did. Draind the tank and started buffing it was a little harder than i thought i think im gonna give up on removing the scarthces. btw the way it works is you pput the buffer on the glass and atack it to a drill then you buff until the glass gets hot and you "mold" and"buff" the scrathces out while the glass is hot and flexable. although i never did reach a tempreture the actullay do that. and also a drill is preetty hard to manuvre in a GLASS aqurium.
