My glass is foggy looking

[toehead11183]

I just bought a 175g salt water tank and one one the sides is foggy. All the other sides are crystal clear. There are little clear circles from where the suction cups were. How do i clean it off. I've tried scrubbing it, 'tank wipes' and letting it soak. Is there something i can put on there to clear it up?

have you tried scrubbing the glass with a algea scrubber?

Mine was like that too and i did that and it became alot clearer( jstu a suggestion or thought since I am no expert)

Use vinegar. Some times you need to give it time. For light stuff, it will wipe right off.

i guess i'll just set it up and see what happens

By giving it time, I meant that the vinegar sometimes needs to soak in to do its job. Other times, a vinegar soaked sponge will quickly remove the haze.

Your avatar made me laugh...I'm guessing the haze is either hard water stains or an imperfection in the glass, and as has been stated vinegar does a good job of cleaning it up.

If it comes down to it, and this is an empty tank - you can also try using paint thinner, but the tank has to be soaked afterwards and air dried....
