Secret to crystal clear glass? Specifically inside the tank.

[DE FISH]

We used vinegar on a freebie tank that was covered in algae, the tank wasn’t filled though

Looks like you left water to dry on the inside and that caused mineral streaking when it dried. I have the same issue but my tank is like 4 years old and one end is "smudged/cloudy" not streaks like yours. Tried magic eraser as well but unfortunately that didn't work in my case. I was really hoping it would clear it up. I have a mixed reef and no harm came from using it inside the tank.

So you haven’t found a way of resolving? I think you’re right on the cause, it wasn’t in my ownership when it happened but that makes sense.

If you use Magic Eraser, make sure it is the original, not a Knock off. Know someone who killed of a Fresh water tank, with a knock-off.

I bought a box with 100 sheets online and have had no issue. The key is to get melamine sponge with zero additives.

Razor blade on glass is the best with a scrubber afterwards.

I wouldn't own another acrylic tank.

I see bare bottom tanks that have spotless bottoms and can't imagine how much time they spend on the tanks to look that good.

Magic eraser... interesting... and just to confirm before I accidentally hurt my lovely clown fish.. we are talking inside the tank?

I bought Magic Eraser type pads off Amazon. Got like 2 pads very cheap. No chemicals, scents or soap. I've been using them for 1 1/2 years, no problems.
