muddybluewater Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 If you feel you need more than ro water you can add a little vinegar to the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I tend to only wipe mine down with a dry towel. I try to keep it free of needless fingerprints and such. Definitely do not use any windex type cleaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishypets Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Definitely do not use any windex type cleaners. Why not???? Do you think it will "leach through the glass?" I use windex on a black and white newspaper to remove all the smears, salt creep, etc. I even use it on the inside of my rimless just above the water level. Then to polish off the low FE glass I wipe clean with a fresh sheet of news paper. Note: I spray the newspaper with Windex in the other room.

joshman1204 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 hmm maybe I am doing it wrong but I just spray some windex on the glass and wipe clean with a newspaper .... been doing it like this once a week for over a year with no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bmwaaron Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 There are glass cleaners made specifically for the Reef tank. API and Kent both make them and there are others. I have used the API product and it works great. Just not sure if you can get it locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
