How can I fix scratches in my tank???

[Eric99]

I removed my black sand and had to use a shop vac to get some out and there was some on the sides and front of the tank I was not thinking that it would scratch anything but it really did a number on my tank. I need to try something. Can someone please offer some advice?
Thanks

It would help to know if it's glass or acrylic.

Whoops I forgot to mention it's glass.

Keep it clean when the algea grows in the scratch marks.....not much else u can do unless u turn it around.

There's pretty much nothing you can do about scratches in glass.

Glass polishes and scratch removers are available from various sources (just Google it). You will probably need a buffer to tackle your situation.

if its a small tank, might be worth it to just buy a new tank.

if its a big tank, well thats expensive..

It's a 180. No new tank. I have looked into glass polishers but it kind of sounds like you can make more scratches when you do that.

if its not frosted you can get an eyeglass polymer that fills scratches
