Do you have a glass cleaner for each tank? Do you share the same one with other tanks?

any issues using one on multiple tanks?
 
I guess it would depend on your willingness to chance infecting both tanks if one catches something. If they are right next to each other then it wouldnt matter imo
 
I have a set of everything for each tank just not worth the risk one tank going belly up is bad enough but to have them all go for whatever reason would be a lot more expensive than glass cleaners etc
 
My tanks are kept separate (2 SW, 1 FW, 1 QT), for the glass cleaners I leave them in the tank and each tank has it’s own. I share equipment between the tanks but always rinse everything in tap water after use, and for most then RO. I am not trying for hospital grade separation, just basic hygiene to avoid cross-contamination.

I am happy to move an animal from one tank to another however if everything is healthy - recently moved my sand sifting starfish from the small SW tank to the larger one as it had run out of food and was starving. Just picked it up from one tank, into a small container of SW from that tank, out of the SW and straight into the new tank. Obviously a risk but if I have no reason to think either tank is not healthy, a small one.
