keeping the glass clean

Hi, I was wondering what everyone does to avoid water marks/stains on their glass tanks. If I only use R.O. or spring water, will the condensation that forms on the inside of the tank leave a mark even if I don't spray water directly on it?

Probably over time, especially if the water is hard. Rubbing alcohol with a microfiber cloth cleans it up pretty good. I clean my windows with hot green tea (with no additives) and it works very well for that. They key to decreasing streaks and water marks is drying with multiple lint free cloths.

Also your critter may "paint" the glass from time to time. So glass maintanence is unavoidable.

RO water doesnt leave water stains.

R.O. water should dry up and the glass will be just how it was before? Clean and clear? Just making sure.

What is r.o. water?

Reverse osmosis. Its a purification technique but im not sure about a difference in leaving water stains

Oh I should have known that. My dad hooked up a reverse osmosis system to his house.
