Hi all .. i have recently found somebweird very tiny holes look curves in my tank glass eventhough they are not deep or anything and the only way to see it is by strong external light reflection.. the glass is 1.2 mm think and its a heated glass.. inwas wondering if its because of cleaning but i only clean mybtank glass with very soft piece of fabric or the flipper.

Sorry i couldn't take a picture for that its too smallnto take a picture

Glass frequently has small bubbles in it. Usually if they are of a certain size they would be rejected at the factory. Yours could also be what are called "seeds". They can be on the top surface, in the body of or on the bottom surface of the glass. If yours are that small I wouldn't worry about them. They would also have been rejected at the factory all depending on the glass quality (customer specs).

Are you really using 1.2 mm glass or is that a typo? Why is it heated, I've never heard of that before?

Are you sure about that? For reference, 1.2mm is about as thick as a thin-ish pencil lead, thinner than most of my drinking glasses. I don't think that would be thick enough to hold any serious amount of water
