I have a 24 gallon acrylic biocube and am wondering how to clean the outside cause its all streaky
 
I've herd the best way to clean you tank outside is to use a mix of water and vinegar. I was told you don't want to use any chemicals cause they go airborne and get into the water column
 
I’ve tried that but it just leaves streaks, maybe i’m doing it wrong? I used paper towel
Use towels not paper. Soak one with freshwater and go back and forth saturating the surface then get a dry one and dry it well, then grab another dry one and sort of buff out any streaks, it will be free of streaks after that. Getting the surface nice and wet is key in the first step, shouldn't take more than a few minutes total.
 
I use an electronic screen cleaning cloth. Swipe the glass with water and then polish with the cloth.
