    I'm talking about the scratches on the outside, like for example the one down below...We've tried a scratch remover but it just kind of made the scratch into a blurry part of the tank, distinct too, and I wanted to know if there was a way to completely conceal the scratches and restore the tanks so that they're like clear and easy to see through as if there was no problems at all?

    Have you tried using the stuff they use to repair CDs and DVDs?
    Worked great for me on my old 10 gallon, for smaller scratches.

    I'd use something larger than bear traps. ;D
