Hi,
i have got these marks on the inside of my tank and they take some getting off. Whats the best way to get them off without using to much elbow grease. I have tried scrubbing and scrubbing and they still wont come off and there mainly down near the bottom.


Cheers Axl

heard some people used methylated spirits, though would of have to wash the tank thoroughly before adding any livestock in..

I use one of these for stuborn algae and the like.
They work wonders and don't scratch your glass.

if its within reach, an oldschoool razor blade also does wonders in removing stubborn stains on glass (algae, mineral buildups, silicone)

use it at about 45 degrees, wont scratch the glass as long as you use a new blade.
