hey all please excuse my utter lack of punctuation, the shift keys are shot on my laptop so i have to deal lol. im looking to see if there are any diy guys out there who know how to buff relatively shallow scratches out of a tank. i have an old perfecto 15g colum that i just retrofitted an led into...its a planted tank right now but i want to go reef with it. its not worth going reef if i cant see the corals properly though so any input will be greatly appreciated.

being in the glass business for years i can tell you that you can buff them out .. but a complete buff usually leaves a dimple effect because youare removing glass with the buff.. the best thing is to use a compound and just get the white color out of the scratch and it will look way better with water in it..
