Can you see the scratches that occur on the water (internal) side of acrylic tanks?

Yup, but they are easily buffed out. I see more scratches in mine now that I switched to LED's.

i wouldn't say easily, but that's just my opinion, had one for 8 years and eventually had to drain it to get it buffed out correctly.

You can get the kits from everclear using magnet and sloooooooooowly buff it out. It will takes some time but can be done lol.

I'm using mighty magnet as well but IMO their scratch removal kit aren't as good as everclear.

Normally I wouldn't buff just one or two scratches out. It depend on how much it is bothering you. With acrylic you will always see minor scratches.
