scratched glass???

I have a used tank with scratched glass around the top 3-4 in. of the tank with some residue build-up. It looks like they tried to scrub off where maybe the water line sat for too long...I don't know! Is there any way to clear this up?

Welcome to FL!!!!

The residue can be removed by cleaning it with vinegar ( before you set the tank up of course).

As for the scratches, there is not much that can be done without making the glass foggy.

thanks, i'll try it! pretty sure it's too late about the foggy scratches...it's in pretty rough shape and hard to see through. frustrating...i was just looking for a quick fix, i guess. i had it set up and lost some fish, fin disease of some sort and funky tank smell. i'm in the process of trying to redo everything. got several mixed chilids in a smaller tank now and it's a little crowded, but they are looking healthier

any more advice is surely appreciated!
