I bought a used tank and there are scratches in the glass. Is there any way to remove them?
Any suggestions?

actually if the tank is not set up and u take it to a good glass shop they should be able to polish out the scratch

scratches can be buffed out with a high speed buffer and glass compound. The compound and buffing wheel are pricey though.

If they are bad, save yourself the heartbreak and get a new tank. I have tried the buffing method and it does not work unless you have very light scratches. You can rent a buffer for $10 and the cirium oxide compound is only $6 a pound and is far more than you will ever need. So, as you can see, it is not expensive. I tried no less than 10 diff types of glass shops in my area and NONE of them wanted to take the time to work on it. Let me put it to you this way - I worked 3 days, 6 -8 hrs a day on mine and have decided to swap out the tanks in the spring!
