I have the same, but now I also have some strategically placed plants .. i might try a careful scrape with a razor blade, but i'm worried about scratching it instead.

Thats my problem too. I have most of the top ones off but the bottom four are proving harder. Might just have to have my dark bogwood corner on that side with some long plant to try and hide it!!

Any body else got any ideas?

if your tank is empty then white spirit will remove any of the adhesive that is left,but make sure you clean the glass thoroughly afterwards,really wash the glass well as white spirit is used for cleaning paint brushes and thinning paint down so is poisonous to fish,i used it and every little bit was removed

i used a one sided razor blade and it too everything off. all that was left was the circle mark on the glass which washed off with some water.

i got told to get a scarring pad and just rub.

I will give it a try. I have managed to get down to the circle marks but there has been some smearing. The ones at the top are looking ok but the ones at the bottom are looking rubbish. I should be able to hide these with some bogwood but will try the ideas you guys have suggested to get rid of them.

On a side note.

I take it the jewel filter would be ok working in another type of tank? (if it fits)
