I swear there should be a section for newbies so we wouldn't feel so bad for posting our stupid questions... :bigsmile:
But oh well,
I heard that using a regular sponge found in the kitchen on the inside of the glass would cause the glass to look cloudy over time due to the sponge's abbrasive nature, so I was wondering if you guys had any methods that you like or products that you might suggest.
Thanks again

Mag-Float cleaner can get at any LFS. . .
Remember we all once were newbies.

They also make an ez blade attachment for them that I highly recommend...

I'm partial to a long handled scraper/scrubber.

I use a mag float and then pull out the scraper to get the tough stuff every once in awhile. I usually like to give the tank a good scraping right before I do a water change.

The magfloats with the EZ blade attachment is by far the best thing for cleaning the inside. This thing cuts through coralline like a hot knife through butter!!!!

whatever u do do not use a kitchen sponge even a new one they come with anti mildew product in them n they will kill the whole tank in a matter of hours. n i must admit i am victim of this horrible mistake, but i was using a new one to clean the salt creep off n found out the hard way.
