Razor blade wnt scratch e tank?

Vinegar cannot remove leh

[limz_777]

always scrape in one direction

[stardus00]

Vinegar can't work leh.

Then have to use blade. If blade also didn't work, the corrosion must have already penetrated, don't think you can remove anymore.

hi bro

Vinegar works. Actually, I used old wine.....

:eek:
That's bad

[thebaldingaquarist]

daiso melanine sponge.

wet and rub... 10 min...

thats what i did. removed 80% at least...

Melamine sponge will cause scratches over time.

For glass:

I previously used baking soda + vinegar, add baking soda in excess. it will form a paste-like matter, and use it to rub away the water stains. The baking soda will act as microbeads to scrub away the water stain, while not scratching the glass, and the vinegar will help to remove the water stain. I have tried this method with success, but it will require much effort and patience.

I have also used acetone to remove water stains, it removes it much easier with lesser effort. However the tank would have to be completely dried before adding water in, and becareful not to let the acetone drip and touch the silicon as many have said to use acetone to separate silicon from glass.

For Acrylic:

Acrylic polishing paste is availabe in hardwareshops for removing hard to get rid of stains, as well as minute scratches.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try this method this weekend n see if it's help.

Vinegar works. I just clean the water stains off my 2 feet crystal glass tank.

[stardus00]

Does u add water to e vinegar before cleaning n e wat brand you use

[qngwn]

Any brand of undiluted vinegar is fine.

Diluting it means that it will not be as strong and removing the water stain will be more difficult.

hi bros

As I said...old wine works, any vintage, merlot, cab. savignon etc. also can ......... Mine was red wine.

Because....when wine turns bad, it becomes vinegar
