    You may be able to buff it out with some glass polish and a Dremel.

    Yeah, its inevitable that these things happen. Just wish it wasn't so soon. Doubt the fish store or maker will take responsibility. wish it wasn't on the front!

    Nice little project you got going on there! If I ever move I'll fly you down to build my next stand! I feel you on the little scratch. My tank was pristine and scratch free til my X decided to put her hand in the tank and re arrange a couple pieces of LR and it fell and scratched the front glass of my DT ..

    Sad news! I thought there was a bubble on the back glass. After calling the lfs and asking they said to prick a hole and push the air out. Not thrilled but could be worse. This morning I start feeling the front of the back glass and realize it's a big old crack...the store here in town is being awesome about it. Hopefully a new tanks is coming soon...

    Was the bubble in the glass? Of so, I don't get it. How do you pop a bubble in something solid?
