Cleaning outside glass

[LadyTang2]

CHemicals are no good for reef tanks, but what do you guys use to clean the outside glass? Very little will get into the aquarium although I guess if sprayed it would..

Can you spray windex on a cloth then use it, or just use vinegar, whats the best and safest way to clean glass?

 

[Spare time]

I use RODI water and a towel

I use a microfiber cloth, you can also use one with rubbing alcohol. I would avoid the Windex or any other ammonia sprays.

Alcohol works great also vodka. Best thing about vodka is if the over spray makes it into your tank it's free carbon dosing

I use vinegar and water. The vinegar dissolves the salt creep better than an ammonia based cleaner anyways.

I spray glass clean on a microfiber, i just dont spray it next to the tank. As long as you're not getting it in the water you should be fine.

Same. Vinegar and water. Safe.

I use the vinegar based windex, no issues. I also spray directly into the towel though.

As someone else stated. Glass cleaner sprayed on cloth away from tank, clean outside glass as any other glass. Plain Water seems to leave streaks & I got to rub those out, too much.
