Calcium buildup on glass

[jwitty]

Anyone have ways to remove or at least clean temporarily (like once a week or whatever) glass that has calcium buildup on it (I believe that’s what it is) without taking water or fish out? I don’t mind if it’s something that has to be done once a week or two. Just something to make it look nice especially when guests come over. Thanks. Here’s a picture of it, goes about 5 inches down from the top.

If it is a glass aquarium, use a single edge razor blade. Some people also recommend using an Original Magic Eraser, no additives or scented.

Can the magic eraser be used in the water? I’ve used the blades before just wanted to see if there was anything else

I use a magic eraser all the time on my wife's tank, hasn't scratched it or anything. It does fall apart after alot of use though

Do you use it with water in the tank or do you drain some?

With water in the tank. Her Choco hates when I do it though, he's a mean s.o.b.

Original magic eraser is always my first go to with water in the tank. Be ready for a few nibbles, unless you have a fish like Choco.

So the original magic erasers don't have any chemicals or solvents added?

Nope, I just give it a rinse to get any dust out of them.
