How do you personally get rid of hard water stains on the tank glass

I also just use white vinegar, the original magic erasers, and water/elbow grease to get rid of those hard water stains. I know people use chemicals, but I normally stay away from those since making sure it doesn't leech into the silicone or the tank's glass.

I use white vinegar and also those magic erasers or a fish sponge. Works flawlessly 10/10

I have been using ACV, and it works really well.

White vinegar is definitely the one to go for when it comes to getting stains off a glass tank. It gets the stains off and it helps to keep the glass smear free which can be a pain when you use any other cleaning product. You also have to be careful what products you use as some cleaning products can be harmful to use on a glass tank that you are going to use for fish. I usually use a plain cloth that I have specifically for the tank that doesn't get used for anything else but that.

Hey guys,

I am having a hard time removing hard water stains on my tank glass as well. I have tried scrubbing them off with a sponge and soap but it just won't budge. I have heard mixing equal parts of water and vinegar and spraying it on the stains works wonders. I am going to try that next, but if you guys have any other tips or solutions that you use, I would love to hear them!

Thanks!

Boesch1: Hey Guys!
Hard water stains, the pet peeve of any tank enthusiast! I once tried to הonvince my friends the spots added 'character' but they weren't falling for it. Here's my secret – Vinegar: The unsung hero of domestic cleaning! I swear it gets the job done magic-always. Try not to use soap since it can harm your fish. Would hate to raise the mortality rates in my fish paradise. Finally, remember: never scrub too hard – take it nsygn frm tm who's learnt the hard way!

Good luck, may the force of spotlessness be with you!

I go straight for regular white vinegar—soak a paper towel or cloth, lay it over the stain for 10–20 minutes, then scrub with a plain magic eraser (no additives). Rinse thoroughly with water. For stubborn spots, a razor blade held at a shallow angle (only on glass, never acrylic) works, but be careful not to scratch. I avoid any soaps or commercial cleaners to keep things fish-safe.
