Glass help

[HvacMan2015]

Just started a new 120 salt tank with ro/di water and Red Sea salts. When mixing I could only get a batch a day due to work and kids etc... each 30 gallons I mixed correctly and put in would be foggy until settled which is understandable. But when I would add the next batch the salt scum I'm going to call it stuck to glass making like a foggy look to tank. When tried to rub off with fingers not much luck. My Question is what should use to rub or clean this off with? And not scratch the tank up. New to site don't know if this is correct way to post of work this so sorry about that if wrong. Thanks for the help.

The absolute best thing you can use to clean glass is the Original Mr Clean Magic Erasser pads. Make sure you get only the Original and not one with any scents.

I actually have one of those metal end scrapers but was scared to use it seems like it would scratch glass. It sounds like nails on chaulk board when using it. But if safe I'll use it some.

This seems like a good cleaner as those are awesome for everything else but didn't know I could use one in a reef tank. Thanks for the help though I'm excited about being almost full but now I got the hazy glass to deal with seems like always something.

Get used to that feeling. When it comes to keeping a marine aquarium, if you aren't regularly having to deal with 'something' then you probably aren't paying enough attention!

I will get that feeling when just relaxing, looking at my tank. Then I tell myself, "No you took care of EVERYTHING and its at 100% capacity". Lol

Hi! Yea I agree with the Magic Eraser! Get the plain ones! Wirks great!!!

 

[HvacMan2015]

Magic eraser can be used inside the tank just to clarify?

Yup, I've used the original "Magic Eraser" to clean the stubborn stuff on the inside glass of my reef with great results and no ill effects.

Yes you can use it inside the tank> BUT ONLY the ORIGINAL no scented ones.
