I've tried soaking and scrubbing with vinegar, CLR, and Clorox and cannot get rid of this stubborn water stain. Know I will barely see when filled with water. Any other suggestions to remove this water ring?

Agreed with both above. My rimless have the same build up and is very annoying. If my flipper doesn’t get it then I break out the razor blade and magic eraser.

Also tried the razor blade with no success. When I run my finger around the water ring, the glass feels perfectly smooth. Hoping that there is something out there that works.

Ok, now I’m confused. I thought razors always worked. Hmm
My tank picture above is after hours of scrubbing and using the razor blade.

Will be trying the Magic Eraser next though.
