Remove Frosting from Frosted Glass?

You might want to look at something like this. Usually, tanks have replacement parts like the glass, o-rings, grub screws and so on. No point trying to remove the frosting and end up maybe hurting yourself. Here is also a handy search for replacement glass. That way you can find what glass will suit you.

A dremel tool and some polishing compound would be the answer. You have to mechanically polish it smooth. Probably more trouble than it is worth.

I would hazard a guess that while trying to polish the glass on a tank that it cracks. Either it flies off the stand or vice or you apply too much pressure and Good Bye~! I recently broke a glass tank using a mini channel lock pliers on the base. I did get that tank apart though~! LMFAO
