Cleaning glass with windex.

I have been using windex for many yrs. on all types of tanks and never had a problem yet.. Its something I never worried about . Now I never tried to pour it into the tank's But I have had it to over spray into them at some point I am sure.. But really whats in it that would wipe the tank out ? A Little Ammonia and distilled water..

 

Same here. never had a problem with spraying the glass directly with windex. i think it would have to take quite a bit poured right in to do any damage.

 

Been using windex eversince my gold fish days... never any problem. With my reef though, I spray on a towel just to be on the safe side. Too much money invested you know.

 

I use the windex wipes...that come in the resealable package.... I just clean my tank then go on to clean off other stuff after that... my gf loves that it motivates me to clean a little..cuz I don't want to waste a wipe..figure I may as well clean off something like the microwave or the stove top after I finish cleaning the tank glass...as that usually only uses a small part of one wipe..heh..

 

I do the same thing. Then after disposing of the towels, I wash my hands immediately so that I don't accidently stick my hands in the tank right after using it.

I wipe the glass with a damp towel then wipe dry w/ newspaper.

 

I read a year back or so, that Windex spray that enters the tank can actually feed Hair Algae. Can't remember where i read this.

 

I've been using Windex for about 10 years. Before the saltwater I had a Cichlid tank and an Oscar tank. Never had any problems
