    My tank is new but has fogged glass :/ I clean all the time, but it looks like a very dirty window. Sucks, and with LED lightning, it only shows it more. And then there are 3 spots on the glass that are crystal clear...I can't explain this...

    A piece of acrylic or glass brillo pad looking stuff. If it's a flat surface and glass, I love busting out a razor. Along the substrate edge I use my finger. Outside I use RO/DI water and a fresh microfiber cloth. I don't clean the back. Most times I just use my husband. Ha!

    In past tanks I have always just cleaned the front glass with a mag float, I like the look of algea on 3 sides and a crystal clear front panel, don't ask me why lol. For the outside I use windex, but it's the vinegar windex, which I'm pretty sure is just an expensive vinegar and water mixture.

    I use a razor blade for the tough stuff and mag float that I leave in the tank for the inside. I clean the back glass (which on a corner are the two sides) where you can see lol
