Glass tank with scratch on the inside

[BuddyBonButt]

What can I do? Can I do something? No idea where this scratch came from, its on the inside. But its super noticeable. No livestock just bacteria. I'm absolutely FUMING! This tank is less than a month old. It's hard to see but dead center. It's there. About 4 inches long.

Tank is glass

This video might help. Note that he says if you can get your fingernail caught in it it might be beyond fixing.

It's on the inside. No chemicals right?

You'll have to watch the whole video (I didn't watch the glass portion to the end). I'm not sure how realistic it will be to fix with an active tank as it did involve a lot of sanding.

Can you partially empty and turn the tank around?

Getting scratches out of glass is really difficult even in a normal picture frame.

It's got an overflow.

All depends on the scratch as others have said and you run the risk of creating a haze/warp. I got a great deal on my current setup but it has some bad scratches along the top of the tank. I put hours and hours into to trying to buff and polish them out, for the amount of time the results were minimal if any. Not worth the effort imop.
