Rehype Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 This topic was brought up in my thread yesterdayish, starting from my use of Kents glass/acrylic cleaner. And suprisingly , alot of people also shared what methods they use,so beings that we spend lots of time and money making our tanks look awesome,isn't it logical a discussion for this type of thing be going on at some point? I use kent like I said and microfiber towels. The most effective and safest to use is Distilled vinegar and some paper towel IMHO Link to comment
braaap Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The most effective and safest to use is Distilled vinegar and some paper towel IMHO More effective than windex? I think not. Come on. Live on the edge with us. Your glass will never be so clean. Link to comment
Travis Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Rodi in a spray bottle and a squeegee. Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 More effective than windex? I think not. Come on. Live on the edge with us. Your glass will never be so clean. Effective and safest...yea I think so. I can use it to clean both sides of the glass whether its my display or sump(this is particularly helpful when cleaning salt creep along the rim of my aquarium) without worrying whether it gets in my system. Have you ever tried using it to clean glass? Dont get me wrong windex works great on glass but when you have hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of sensitive animals to care for. Why risk it? epsecially considering the potential risk when the alternative is just as effective and much safer. Link to comment

I don't like change. Link to comment

MLS_Reef Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex. I live on the edge. Same here.. I need clean clear glass... Lol Link to comment
Aurortpa Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Fresh water and newspaper actually. Newspaper usually has soy print and contains no lint so it leaves glass streak free safely. Link to comment
GoingPostal Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I use glass cleaner, sprayed on a paper towel. Seems logical enough. Link to comment
bryantkalagian Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex sprayed on a paper towel and just buff it till its perfect. Or until I don't care Link to comment
gena Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Dang...I'm afraid to even use Windex in the same room as the tank . I use water and a paper towel and then polish with my shirt sleeve . I'm going to pick up some of that kent marine glass cleaner though. No Windex for me. Link to comment
Hammerstone Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I use a viva paper towel, fold it in a square and get it wet with fresh water, then I scrunch up a dry paper towel and rub off the water with a swirling motion until dry. I'm anal about it. It looks great ? Link to comment
gus6464 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex. I bet if I sprayed a little directly into the water nothing would happen. That's what carbon is for. Link to comment
gena Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex. I bet if I sprayed a little directly into the water nothing would happen. That's what carbon is for.If there's a fish near the surface they will die. Guaranteed! Link to comment

TFish77 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex. I live on the edge. Windex.. squirt it right on the glass. Ha ha, I too use a generic Windex with vinegar and old kitchen hand towels. I would be careful with these. I have heard stories of the chemicals from the windex eventually seeping through the glass and harming stuff inside. Link to comment
bryantkalagian Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I would be careful with these. I have heard stories of the chemicals from the windex eventually seeping through the glass and harming stuff inside. Is there any way to prove that that was a cause. There are so many variables in this hobby I feel like that is a long shot to say that was the reasoning behind a tank failure. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex on a paper towel... I just point the spray away from the tank obviously... Link to comment
marinekeeper Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Windex makes an amonia free version with vinegar. Thats me Link to comment
