    The streaks being left behind are probably from minerals in your water.

    Clean the glass with distilled water. Because distilled water contains no minerals it will not leave spots or streaks on the glass.

    Also, you do know not to be using chlorinated water with your frogs, right? If you use tap water you have to treat it with something to remove the chlorine & chloramines which are dangerous to amphibians (and most other small animals).

    We do not have chlorine in our water. The streaks are more of a dirty streaking rather than a white residue that hard water would leave.

    A razor blade takes care of stubborn stains, just be sure not to cut the silicone on the corners.

    Razor blade + water and a paper towel will take care of just about anything on glass. If you wipe it dry after washing, you shouldn't get streaks.

    you may want to check that again. http://www.scbwa.org/pdf/state_colle...eport_2011.pdf it may be a small amount in comparison to some major metropolitan areas, but you guys do have chlorine in the water. i thought you guys did, my cousin is a cop in the borough and we had that discussion before (he's also a fish keeper)

    You still need to treat well water!!!!!
    I learned the hard way, unfortunately.
    Buy a de-chlorinater (even if you have no chlorine in your water) that will neutralize heavy metals as well.... It's VERY important!
