Torch:
I saw,(back in 1985-6-7) builders who used cleaning people/crews to do there finial cleaning on homes that were to go out to the customer in the next few days or weeks and they cleaned the glass with razor blades to remove paint and stuff.
These blades would work good for the first few pains, but after just a couple of windows and or doors with many little windows, the Glass would get all scratched up and you could see this fine and heavy scratching if you looked towards the side/on an angle not straight forward.
Glass is easly scratched, depending on what is put to it, the sharper the point or ridge of an item/rock/razor the deeper it goes, yet it might not be visible until you step to the side. It is like shaking a blanket in frount of you, but if you do the same in the window on a sunny day and stand to the side, you will see all the dust flying.
It is a funny thing the eye and cornia, shadows and angle views, almost like the sight of a Rainbow. Some people can not tell if there stone is honed from a defect and they can not see a true fracture in a stone and they might think a crack is a crack yet it is a natural fracture/fissher they call it. The more costly/rare stone has more fisshers and fractures and most likeley is webbed in the back. The Chinesse stone is softer in the Satin gloss that can be had on the surface of good Greek or Italian/true Italian stones and so the Thi stone and Mexico and Iraqui stuff also is not good for heavy and dense polish and leaves fine sworles on the surface, if you look at it on the side view a person can see this, but many countries charge more because the polish is denser, like Italy, Greese, and some other countries. Most people do not know that much stone/marble/granite is brought in from China and Iran, India, Iraquie to Italy to be finished and they Stamp it Italian marble or stone, Yet it is not from there country at all, it is just easyer for them to get the stone from other countries, do to Labor costs. In ceramics the colors are from Greese and Europe/Germany,Italy all use there colors to complete manufacture of colored tiles.
Inlays are Italy's fortey, with water Jet teckno the Italians are doing the finest in inlay of presious stone and fine puzzles of stone types going togeather.

Back to Glass:
Glass is a problem and that is why the Acril has come into play. No matter how dammaged, the plastics can be brought back and at a resonable cost to do the work, yet you might need to remove the contense of your tank to do the job. Not a bad idea after 7-8-9 years. That is about the norm for an overhaul. Some have reported 10+ but unless a person is going to change the bed/DSB, porshion by porshion,(supposing you have a bed/DSB to deal with and that will cause a mess/stur in the system) then it might be a good thing to get the work done while a person has the change or overhaul going on. I personally would think on upgrading and selling off the tank and putting the money towards the new one and let the other person get it polished and there it is.
Glass tanks 80-100-150 gallons to me personally are not worth it to worry about, can the sucker and get a new one. Sell it off to somebody that does not care, grab the cash and move on.
