Ok so I have this 75 gallon that is about a month old and a few weeks ago I noticed a spotty film on the glass. It wont come off with my magnetic scrubber or a razer. When we rub the film with our fingers as hard as we can it looks like it's coming off because there is like a fog that floats away from our fingers. You can also feel where this film is and where it isn't. I have a video of it but it wont let me post it for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas?

Could be etched. It's caused by minerals from the water sort of eating away at the glass. If it's etched there's no easy way to fix it and I would just look at trashing it. If it's not removable by chemicals and scraping it likely won't be fixable.

Pics and the video would help. I believe you have to upload the video to you tube and then copy the link into your message. That's the easiest way I have found to include video.
