There is no easy fix for this unfortunately...If it was a real eyesore I would replace the front glass unless it is a smaller tank ie a standard 2 footer, where it might be best to replace the tank completely...If the scratch is on the outside it is more susceptible to the chances of splitting with the pressure of water pushing out...If on the other hand its on the inside this will lessen the chance of the tank giving way.

i know a trick for scratched watche faces etc. Use toothpaste. It has a fine grain, but onloy try on your tank when empty and wash off well. cheers jk :thumbup:

Try polishing it out with 1200 wet and dry or ignore it. If its on the outside you try some metal polish with super fine steel wool.
