Cleaning cover glasses...

[Ian21777]

How do you guys do it? Or should I say what do you use? The glasses on my 180 dont come out (well easily come out) and up to now Ive just been wiping them with water and a paper towel. It doesnt seem to do a very good job though and i was wondering if anyone has any tips? Thankyou

I use a sponge with the coarse side and scrub them

Try apple cider vinegar. Be sure to rinse well before putting the cover back on the tank.

I use one of the sponge things if it starts getting algae on it. but even that still leaves streaks and water marks and then a residue of sorts when it dries. I was hoping someone would have some kind of vinegar alternative that can be used with the glasses in place seeing how they dont come out. I mean I could get them out, but i dont know how well they would go back in. they are fixed into runners that they slide along, but the runners are fixed in place and i think the glass and runners were assembled before being fixed in place. If anyone else has a tank from ND aquatics and knows of a trick to get the glass out then let me know

I use vinegar and water on a paper towel. Just try not to get it in the tank. Even if you get a little in the tank it won't hurt too much. Still leaves a little of the that white crusties but its better than plain water.
