Jumping In

Hello, I've inherited a 180g reef tank rehab project. The old tank glass was poorly cared for. Any recommendations to not scratch the bajeezus outta my new glass? Project status: Water is in, old rock is in, deciding on sand and refugium media. Any/all comments are sooo welcomed! Thanks for the read, Rag.

Welcome to R2R!
Is it glass or acrylic? If it's class vinegar and a razor blade work great ;) Just be gentle
If its acrylic you have to be more careful as it scratches much easier, and don't use a razor blade, use a plastic scraper or something similar.

Welcome to R2R! If you can share pictures it might be easier for us to make recommendations. Either way, we’re glad you’re here! Good luck with the project!

Yup, do exactly as Crabs advised and you should be good. I have found that live rock will scratch glass quickly and often if you aren't super careful when moving it around, so just be careful on that front. Most important, Welcome to R2R!!!!

Forgot that this hobby has more details than I am used to....Coral REEF is the goal. This pic is for those who like a good laugh.

Vinegar and a magic eraser, along with a razor blade if needed, will be your best friend.

Welcome to the forums! As others have mentioned, if by glass you mean actual glass, a razor and some vinegar with do nicely. For acrylic you'd need a buffer of some sort.
