The tank I bought has quite abit of "crap" on the glass.
I call it crap because basically its just like... the stuff limestone rock leaches... u know that white milky look.
I've heard some people use acid and that to clean them...
I dont want anything that my damage the sillican.
Any products... where u got it and how much?
Thanks!

Outside as in weathered or "water stained glass" or etched or on the inside ?
If the inside is just calcium deposit from alkaline or hard water.
If inside, just fill the tank and use a copper or S/steel pot scoure and a bit of elbow greese. should work !

Yeh its just calcium deposit around the inside of the tank.
Wont a scoure scratch the glass?
I had a go at it with water and a rag but what i wiped off just seemed to come back.

I always found that "Steradent" tablets work quite well at removing the calcium deposits from the inside of a tank. Or perhaps you could try "CLR Clear"
Please wash your tank out thoroughly after using any products. I use bleach to remove any leftover soap traces, then rinse very thoroughly with water, and have never had any problems.

I use vinegar because chemicals freak me out in tanks. Just use any really acidic base (citric/vinegar) that isnt a harsh chemical to remove calcuim deposits.
