Clear Glass Easy Way

[Fish Folk]

I’ve used lots of glass scrapers, but in the end, nothing works better on the inside than an old VISA gift card.

And on the outside, honestly, basic hand sanitizer (as long as there’s not too much added moisturizer) on a rag works fine.

Everybody’s nice and clear now!

The plastic card is the only thing I’ll use on the interior my acrylic tanks.

As for the outside (glass or acrylic), I have a DIY formula…

• 4oz distilled white vinegar
• 4oz RODI or distilled water
• 1oz 90% isopropyl alcohol
• 2-3 drops original Dawn dishwashing liquid (the “plain old” stuff, no anti-bacterial or scented)

Mix it all up in a spray bottle, and it performs better than any commercially available alternative, IMO.

I love the card idea for the inside and am going to try it tomorrow!  

For the outside, I really like to use glass cloths like these--I use a washcloth or microfiber cloth to wash with just plain water and then dry with one of the window cloths.  It's how I do all my tanks and windows, and I love that I don't have to worry at all about chemicals or soaps or additives--it's all done with the same tap water I use to fill the tanks!  https://www.amazon.com/Microfiber-Glass-Cleaning-Cloths-Chemicals/dp/B00KAJ42GO/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=window+cloths&qid=1625280535&sr=8-8

If you want others to see the how your fish look when you aren't wearing your glasses, no.
