Hazy glass

[Straight_OG]

Ok so idk what's up with my tank the glass looks kinda hazy from the front and right side and there's this lines going accross it. I tried cleaning the glass inside and out but nothing happens the left side is completely normal
You can kinda see the lines in the pictures. Anyone have an idea of what's going on or if the glass is just defective in a way

[Straight_OG]

About a month and a Half.

Was there a lot of coraline growing on the glass? If so, was it on there long cause it can cause hazing. Or it could be like the water level line?

Not on the front panel, and I dont think it's the water line because the water line is about 4 inches from where the 1st streaks starts. There's like 4 streaks and I tried cleaning the glass from inside and out and it doesn't come off

I use RO water from the fish store that I've used from all my previous tanks and I dont recall this happening. I get my saltwater from there too. And what kind of cleaning or what do you mean?

Is it a fine scratch? Can you feel it with you nail? Does algae grow on that line more?

It's not a scratch there just white rows about 3 inches tall going across the front and right panels

 

[Straight_OG]

Those white streaks

Did you buy the tank new? Just thinking if not, someone might had frag racks there before and light kinda burned an imprint on glass.

Maybe I need my eyes checked but I can't see what you are describing.

try cleaning them with a mr. clean magic eraser.

No I bought it used, so if that's the case then it won't come off?

Where it's pointing, you can see a thick row going accross the tank and it looks white

 

[Straight_OG]

Ok so the eraser sponge didn't do anything =( . Any other ideas?

I usually see that white film on my tank I use the flipper and it comes right off. Are you carbon dosing? You can try a razor blade and carefully scrape it off.

I'm not carbon dosing but u do have a bag of chemi pure blue. And the blade won't take anything off tried that already. I think the glass may just be defective, it's not on the outside and it won't come off from the inside,

Usually no. I'm a mechanic from a dealer. I see cars come in with sticker on windows. If left on for a longtime and in the sun, nothing will take out the shadow or imprint. Should be the same as a glass tank.
