Hi, so I just noticed our new tank (~3 months old Red Sea Reefer G2 525) suddenly has all these scratches on the inside of the front glass. The strange thing is, I always clean the sides & front at the same time, only the front is scratched and I always avoid the sand. Looking back on photos, it would seem the scratches suddenly appears 3 days ago. We use a Flipper edge with metal blades, always on the metal side. I don't know how this has suddenly happened, but looking closely at the scratches, they seem to be very light and I can't feel them. Maybe Red Sea use a cheap glass for the front that is easily scratched?!
I plan on getting some plastic holding tanks and moving the livestock/rock into them with heaters so we can spend the whole day polishing the glass with Cerium Oxide and a orbital sander.
Anyone here had the same thing happen to them, and can offer some advice or ideas?
The Flipper is in the bin and we will be using a Tunze plastic scraper going forward. I feel like a moron that I'm having to learn this the hard way.
Trying to upload a video. Thanks.
