Scratch removing service

[Aznmonkey13z]

Looking for a glass aquarium scratch removing service. Does anyone know someone?

Only for acrylic

Depending on how bad they are, maybe be best to do it yourself. It’s not too complicated, just effort. These services im sure are not cheap at all.

Depending on how many and depth of scratches it might not be worth the effort or $$. Keep in mind a dry tank with scratches looks way worse. Once you fill it the scratches kind dissappear. My tank has tons of scratches but I hardly noticed anymore since you're looking through and past the glass. I really only notice when surface algae starts to collect in the scratches grooves but even then wipes away easily with a magnet cleaner or tunze magnet scraper. If the tank is so badly scratched thar it bothers you then you might be better off getting and new or used tank.

it’s a dry tank. The scratches are not deep but looks like a lot. Tried to do it myself but it didn’t come out that good so trying to find some professional help

Maybe try filling it with tap to just see what it looks like.

Agreed. I had a few swirls on my old tank. I’ve just bite the bullet and get a new one tank or learn to live with it.

Good luck!

Okay. I’ll try and fill it up and see how it looks

I looked into this awhile ago when I bought a 180g off some guy and didn’t realize how bad the scratches were until I saw it under light. Called around and no one does aquarium glass so I just said f*** it and bought/found another tank. Just wasn’t worth the hassle trying to fix.

Agree, might not be as noticeable once filled. Just depends on what you would be okay to live with, but for monetary purposes I’d fill with tap and see how she looks.
