What fish are in it? Is the substrate gravel or sand? What decorations are in it? It's possible that the glass just needs a good cleaning as my used 55g did BADLY), but there are other things it could be as well. ]<]Dani<]<

If it's small scratches on the outside there are chemical products that fill in the scratches: https://secure.cnchost.com/safevision.net/polish.html http://www.bestdealsontv.com/msd/item.msd?mode=d&id=4311&src=gadv But they're small (for eyeglasses), expensive, and may not work 100% because you won't get scratches on inside. Hope this helps.
