The magic eraser is safe to use on the tank - I did alot of research (on a different site) I tried it but it didn't seem to work any easier than my scraper

Too bad I can't do this...this tank is built in the wall...so I guess I have to go the spray and scrub route.
Boooo!

Good luck with that, a wet dry shop vac would be handy for the final rinse and remove

there is a way to polish the glass
but it may be cheaper to get a new tank

I agree it's cheaper to get a new tank  I've looked into having some glass polished myself and per square inch is outrageous around my neck of the woods  |
