Phillz Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Just wondering how everyone cleans the outside of their tank glass? My tanks have kiss marks on them from my kiddies :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livebearer_breeder Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 a sctochbright sponge, make sure its one of the high density ones with no anti-bacterial stuff in it, just plain on coarse sponge, works a treat. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxy Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Can you use glass cleaning spray on the outside of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I use a wet cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I use a cloth dampened with tank water, i wouldn't use normal window cleaner because either the chemicals or the fumes may end up in the water. There is a product i have seen on Trade Me and at Hollywood that is tank safe aquarium cleaner, not the cheapest but neither is replacing fish.

beachy Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I use glass cleaner on paper towel, spray it on the towel not the glass to avoid over spray into the tank. Havent had any probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I use either glass cleaner sprayed onto news[paper or just damp newspaper. the paper menas you can elimate the fact of having that scungy ol rag leaving dust all over the nice clean glass :lol: B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I just use a damp cloth and a dry one to clean off the outside of my tank. I never used anything else as everything I read said not to. Saw glass cleaner for the tank, but much cheaper to use damp cloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveus Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I've always just used normal household window cleaner due to the fact my hood would not let any chemicals in, also gives it a shining effect and clears the view up good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicB Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Tried one of those buckets you put on dogs heads for the kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_jay_01 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 hello, a nice way and cheap way of cleaning the out side of the tank is with Brown Vinegar on newspaper as it doesn't normally streak the glass. You may be thinking why Brown? It's because brown vinegar has a nicer smell and white for some reason streaks. And a bottle of Vinegar last longer then the Household cleaners. hope this helps.

Caryl Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Vinegar is good to clean glass with. I use glass cleaner spray and a cloth, or paper towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 LOL about the buckets - trouble is the kids would then use their sticky fingers instead :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
