scratches on the inside of the tank... any suggestions?

hi all,
well it's exactly as the title says; my friends daughter was helpfully cleaning the front glass, and got a couple of grains of coral gravel under the magnet, and has put a hundred tiny (but visible) scratches on the glass. they're not deep, but visible when the lights are on.

any suggestions?

Hope the tank doesn't give way? Just enjoy it. My glass is a mess. After seven years though, who cares...

There is really nothing you can do to the glass to remove sratches.

Theres really nothing you can do about it, well considering all the work involved you would have to do. Depending on your tank size its probably better and easier to just get a new tank.
