    While cleaning the side tank glass, incidentially made some fine scratches on the glass. It's rather obvious. Is it possible to polish off those scratch marks?

    Anyone face this kind of problem before and if so how you solved them?

    Thank You...

    Why not try a shop that repair reading glasses as I a sure they must have something for removing scratches of lenses?

    Thanks for the article. Anyone provide this service in Singapore? Whether the service charge could be even higher than the tank price.

    Frankly speaking....
    Such thing could be cheaper only when you DIY. I think most company of all kinds charges more than $30 for transportation alone and that is one way. For a fish tank, likely they will charge even more.

    If you are unable to do it or get your friends to help you, I suggest leaving it as it is and use it as spare/quarantine tank in the future.

    Look like I either bear with it for a while before 'downgrade' it to be a quarantine tank later..Thank you once again for all the suggestion.
