Once they are scratched they are scratched unless you could take it to a glass store like the fellow said in the second post but that would be a major pain in the ass unless it's a small tank. I'd just buy a new tank if possible and don't stack up any rocks in it so they don't fall and scratch your glass. Rocks + digging fish = scratched tanks.

to the OP, if you find a way please let me know, since i've been trying to work this one out for a while now due to some careless staff who scratched my tank!!!

It IS possible to buff out scratches on glass. Its just time consuming. I have done it with a right angle grinder and a buffing wheel using dry bar soap and toothpaste. It takes about an hour per sq ft. Laying inside the tank while doing this helps with fatigue and leverage for maintaining a constant and steady pressure.
