    On the inside? I grab my Spiny Urchin and drag him across the glass.

    Outside? I put peanut butter all over it and the dogs lick it clean.


    Naa. really? I use my mag float for the inside, and for the outside, I have a microfiber cloth that I spray a little windex on. The windex loosens the salt, and I flip the microfiber over and woosh it away.

    In a spray bottle mix 25% white vinegar, rest water. Spray on and use a terry cloth towel.

    Paper towel will break up if you have to scrub and i dont like the windex cause its a chemical, Im a worry wart and worry about it getting in the tank. The vinegar wont hurt anything. Not sure windex would hurt anything either but never chanced it.
