Cleaning aquarium glass

[cu0ngsayz]

I was wondering if anyone here uses windex to clean the glass on your aquariums or do you just wipe it down with a water moist towel?

[armthehomeless]

I use windex. I spray onto the towel as opposed to the glass though.

+1 to above.

windex on the glass dry paper towel

[cu0ngsayz]

oh ok cause i've heard people not using windex cause it "messes up the glass" i was thinking what so special about tank glass and a coffee table glass besides the thickness

[Totenkampf]

i dont see how it could mess up glass, it will mess up your fish if the spray gets inside which is why i shoot the towel away from the tank. a tip for streak free glass, use newspaper instead of paper towels!

I think the concern is with acrylic? also what the bro said above about killing your fish.

[cu0ngsayz]

no some guy was telling me about not spraying windex on glass. pretty sure it wasnt acrylic.

[AhKwaB]

and the reason not to was cause it destroys the glass?

[cu0ngsayz]

"cause it messes up the glass" it was a oceanic bow front. not sure if they sue some "special" glass for those tanks but who knows

[AhKwaB]

I would stop taking advice from that guy then.

[cu0ngsayz]

didnt really take his advice since im still cleaning with windex. i was just wondering if aquarium builders might use some special stuff on certain glass or whatever.
