ok as you can see my water is hard and basic.

my tank has been up and running for almost 2 years now and I am starting to notice what must be hard water deposits on the inside of the glass. how can i clean it off? I was thinking i could break the whole tank down and clean it good with a mild acid like vinegar, but that sound like allot of work! 8O

you can kind of see it in the pic, just like a white cloudyness on the inside of the glass. :cry:
 
I take a clean unused razor blade and gently scrape them off, being careful not to scratch the glass or harm any fish. I have hard water too so I can sympathize.
