What do you guys use to clean your glass?

[reefNewbie]

Just wondering what everyone uses and whats the best method for cleaning the aquarium glass on the outside of the tank? I have one of those magnet cleaners and it really doesnt clean the outside that well.

Well you can use any kind of glass cleaner. Make sure you put the cleaner on the cloth and not the glass as to insure you do not get the spray in the water.
I use Coralife Cleaner/Polisher. This does an excellent job of cleaning plus it adds a coating over time that helps repel dust and water spots. After using this product for a while, I only need to clean with a dry rag most of the time.

I use an old sock and rubbing alcohol when very dirty. Mostly just a dry towel will work.

I just use an old T-shirt as a rag. The cloth is soft enough that it buffs and salt spots off perfectly. If I encounter anything too stubborn, I just use a little fresh water on the corner. I would stay away from any type of commercial glass cleaners unless they are specifically deisgned for aquariums. Lot's of nasty chemicals.

Wipe with damp towel than buff with dry towel.

I use a mix of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it on and wipe it off.

White vinegar works well and is relativly safe in case some gets in the tank.

Ok.Ok !.....I have done this when I just do not feel like doin anything........I just don't clean it at all. Alright! Do this..spread Peanut Butter(I use the cheapest I can find) on the glass and let your dog do the work. This is alot of fun to watch...especailly if you have a Porcupine Puffer that is about 6 inches of size. Real cool! :twisted:

I use an aquarium safe glass cleaner.
"safe & easy aquarium cleaner" from Aquarium pharmaceuticals inc. I think I got it from
marinedepot.com

A sheet of Newspaper w/ alcohol does a good work.

plain ol' water and either a towel or a squeegee.

don't recommend anything like windex get near the tank-even on a towel.
:wink:

Python brand glass cleaner, it's just overpriced water w/ vinegar. Paper towels wet with warm tap water or r/o (doesn't leave as many streaks!) also do the trick. If you're industrious enough, you can put a wet paper towel under the outside portion of your algae magnet when you clean the glass. Saves at least 30 seconds!

vinegar and water mixture with a squeegee. it's the best way to do things if you've got several hundred tanks to get cleaned up fast, let me tell you.
