Many minor scratch become invisible once the tank is filled with water.

cant really buff glass out. thats the downside to glass, it can be scratched, and it cant be buffed.

should be hard to scratch though. howd you manage it?

Look into that windshield repair kit, They it covers holes in tanks like new. I would only be concerned about how toxic it is after it dried out. Maybe only choice.

switch them round

but use a solvent (nitromores) to get the paint of dont scape it or you may scracht it more

If you can feel the scratches with your nail, I'm afraid they cannot be removed. There is a product available called jeweller's rouge (in the UK) which removes VERY fine scratches, but it's a long, tedious process, and is not very effective on deeper scratches.

I'm just gonna paint the other side...it's laytex paint so it comes off pretty easy.

You can sand and buff glass like you do with acrylic but it just takes a little longer time because glass is harder to sand than acrylic.
