Starfire is easier to scratch than normal glass, another reason I myself don't use acrylic or starfire. I would probably commit suicide with the scratches I have seen on these 2 types.

I hope the scratch isn't too big!

I did want to commit suicide when I see how bad it was. I was using the magnetic float to clean the glass, and that stupid thing caught a small piece of coraline algae from the tank. I didn't know that, I kept cleaning up and down on the same area for a few seconds then realized I was made a huge blurry look. It was right in the top right corner of my tank, the scratches are about 2 inches wide and 7 inches long. I can see clearly, but I don't feel the scratches when I touch it. I was thinking if I can empty 1/3 of the tank and use something to fix it, instead of removing the whole thing inside.
Thanks Sphelps, I will call J&L about this product. And thanks everybody for your quick responses. It really touched me when I know whenever I need help, there is always somebody here to help me. Thanks a lot you guys.
