Glass scratch repair

have an 180 gallon tank.. noticed a small scratch on the inside of the tank. looking through the internet, seemed like one just needs to live with it but i figure i would post to see if anyone has figured out a creative way to hide the scratch or repair it.

thanks

No easy way to repair glass, only way would be to sand down the area around the scratch until they are smooth... only problem is the glass will no be slightly thinner... and it will cause a lens effect

Is the tank empty? If so when you fill it it shouldn't be that noticeable. The only thing I've noticed is the algae will fill it and seem to show up a little more.
