Does anyone have any suggestions for a method of making a scratch on the outside of the tank look less noticeable from the inside?

I have a Red Sea Desktop Peninsula, and the outside glass got scratched by my hoodie zipper when I was moving it, so now when I look from the opposite side of the peninsula I can see the scratch. Right now I’m just covering it with my Flipper magnifier lol

I tried clear nail polish, but I think that works best when you’re looking at the surface from the same side as you’re putting the paint on. I’m looking from behind it/the other side, though. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any ideas/suggestions!

I'm sorry to hear about the scratch. Acrylic tanks are a lot easier to scratch and a lot easier to buff out. Glass not so much.

There are glass scratch remover and polishing kits you can try. I've never used them myself so can't say how good they work but maybe someone else with experience can chime in.
