RE: [Gecko] Cleaning tank

Distilled water will not leave "hard-water stains" like tap, and drinking water will.

Reverse osmosis water should also not leave any marks...in theory.

 

Scraping the glass with a razor blade should remove hard water stains.

Hi Michael & Folks,

I recently tried the "vinegar trick" (5% acidity distillled white vinegar) in
an effort to remove Seattle water spots with NO luck.  The two tanks on which
I tried the vinegar were 10 and 5 gallons so I could position them on their
sides while they "soaked".  WATER SPOTS REMAINED.

Does your 10% Clorox solution remove those spots?

Will using distilled water for misting prevent these spots?

#2 I use a 10% clorox solution made with HOT water...smells dissipates
faster and dry's without streaking or drips.

HI,
 I need some help.. When I clean my tank I transfer the geckos into a
small 10 gallon tank then do what I need to do, well I was thinking about
cleaning it with them in but I want to try this vinegar trick to get rid
of all the water spot (used drinking water not distilled but I got the
right stuff now)
