Glass canopies

[paronaram]

Hello All,

How can I clean glass canopies?
(display tank in the living room)
I don't buffer my water much, but it get's covered with calcium and salt deposits.
I have tried vinegar, it smells, and cleans the glass very very slow...
I used dish washing sponges, but no progress


Thanks,
Aram

You might try soaking in RO or distilled water.

jungle labs make a lime off cleaner which is what I used to use. Limeoff & a razor blade works very well.

I usually do a good scrubbing with the tooth brush, but it gets annoying. Thinking about using goo-gone but not sure about that idea

try baking soda with white vinegar to form a paste, be aware of the reaction so mix them in your kitchen sink.

I use vinegar and sometimes a razor blade. Rinse thoroughly at the end to get the vinegar off.

Thanks again,
Aram.

Nothing works better than muriatic acid. You can get from your local hardware store. Only use it in a well ventilated room and wear rubber gloves. A little goes a long way, Dampen an old rag, wipe and rinse with water...done.
Be careful!

The Home Depot by me carries it in 1 gallon jugs in the concrete section. I think its used to take off mortar residue.
