What kind of glass cleaner do you guys use for your tanks?

[Greybeard]

Another vote for a little RO/DI water and a clean, soft towel. A little elbow grease goes a long way on polish.

Ok, so... maybe a bit of saliva once in a while...

Not to :deadhorse: but I have a spray bottle with RO water that I use to spray my mangroves. I also use it to spray down the front of my tank, then wipe with towels.

Mentioned above but I just use a dry paper towel, I used to use windex but like you said it leaves streaks

 

[SeaCucumberFan]

Regular window cleaner stuff.

I use Invisible Glass too

RO/DI and paper towels same as @slats. 1 towel wet, 1 to dry, then another to dry.

RODI and newspaper.

 

[zsuman101]

Water

 

[tc2007]

RODI alone should do the trick.

Most stuff is easily wiped off with a clean dry microfiber towel.
Once in a while I'll spray some Invisible Glass on a microfiber towel away from the tank, then wipe the glass down with it.

Paper doesn't seem to work well. Yes, micro fiber seems best even without a cleaner sometimes.

I use windex vinegar muilti surface.

R/o water and Squeegee. No streaks.

Thanks for all the comments. Some great suggestions here!

I struggled with this for many months. Water, water/vinegar, windex, etc. I was never satisfied, until someone here recommended Kent Marine Acrylic and Glass Cleaner. It is the best thing I have used. It may appear expensive, but it is not. The bottle last for long time.

I too have used this and love it. Adds a nice shine to the glass. I think it has some polymers in it that help to fill any micro scratches/imperfections in the glass that you cant see, but make a difference on clarity, similar to a wax and buff on a car.

50/50, vinegar and tap water

Costco brand paper towels. The Brawny kind will absolutely destroy your tank. Costco only!

I use vodka in a small spray bottle.

Glass cleaners have ammonia, so unless you are not getting any vapor inside the tank you may have a nitrate problem, IMO. It happened to me and when I switched to 2 parts vinegar and 1 part RODI, no more nitrate problems.... just sayin

Vinegar, I would never use windex those vapors can be pulled in by your skimmer and end up in water

No need to over complicate things with this one.
