This is as good as it gets.
You should keep your old tank, put it ni storgage, who knows, it might come in useful later.....
Preventing scratches on glass

Actually, I was reffering to your mag glass cleaner. As far as a new tank goes, I think that I will build my next tank from fibreglass.Blinky said:Kasakato & Matak - I'm selling my old 45g, stand and sliding glass top, feel free to make me an offer
I put an ad in the classifieds - I've got filters, plastic plants and gravel too.

Of course you meant the glass cleaner, that makes MUCH more sense!
I think the polishes are for acrylic, but I'll check it out, thanks

I actually used it yesterday - very gingerly - and didn't see any problems. It's so darn convenient, I want it to work, but I'm pretty nervous about it. If I decide to get rid of it I'll let you know
That's amazing! Thanks so much!
I did some further research on it (and glass polishing in general) and it wouldn't be too hard to remove scratches from a tank. I'd have to have everything out of the tank for at least a day or two, but that's what Rubbermaid containers are for!

Toothpaste can work on small (by which I mean shallow) scratches. It contains fluoride which is used to etch glass, but is in small quantities so you can use it to remove tiny amounts of surface glass to smooth out the scratch. If it's a deep gouge though, forget it, nothing's gonna do the trick. All polishers work by stripping off surface layers to level the glass off with the scratch, thinning the glass too much is worse than the scratch itself.
I use an acrylic cleaning pad between the glass and the mag cleaner. If it wont scratch plastic, then glass should be ok. The inside of my mag cleaner is like velcro and holds it well. Just be carefull at the gravel line.
I agree with Bartman, keep the magnet away from the gravel. I find that some of my gravel will stick to the magnet and small granules can scratch the glass.
