Default How do you clean your glass

I found the best way to clean glass without scratching it, while saving money is to use my wife's credit cards (I wouldn't recommend chip cards)

Great idea! Do you also freeze it when you're done scraping?

I use the lowly magnetic agae cleaner...

I use a blade. How often do you clean the glass? The last time I did mine was a couple of months ago, needs doing again....

Well it probably should have been done a while ago and is going to take a while to complete. As the tank ages, I think it will need it more often, that's why I asked.

Buy one of these and a Magfloat and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/cl...g+Magnets.html
