nope, scratches in glass will NOT come out. gotta buy a new tank if they bother you that much

That's what I though. My crazy wife was arguing with me though. I am gonna just pic the best side, then paint the other black.
 
If the scratch is deep enough to catch your fingernail, then it cant be fixed.

Dry Mustard and Vinegar. Mix 1 part dry mustard and 1 part white vinegar into a paste. Apply paste to the scratch. Polish with a soft cloth. AVOID EYE CONTACT; DRY MUSTARD CAN BE DAMAGING TO THE CORNEA.

Toothpaste can also be used.
Buffing would leave the area too weak.

see the thing is, if it's fine enough to be buffed out, then chances are you wont even see it when the tank is full of water. youre just wasting your time! the ones you cant remove are the ones you can see when it has water. so it's a lose-lose!

toothpaste also works on buffing out scratches on cd's, dvd's, and videogames! I might have to try that though, no biggie if it does not work well.
