150 gallon Viv build

They couldnt care less about the light food and warmth are all that's needed.
I have never thought about guppies and sally... Hm, i should get some when he is healthy.

I'd even try goldfish if Sally is big enough, when I gave Saphira the guppy she liked it but it could have been much bigger and she could still have handled it.

So my materials will be here on friday, i did a HUGE amazon order. I cant wait to start, but i do have one not so small issue. Around the top edge of the glass, there are hard water/mineral stains, and i have tried vinegar, windex, and just plain scrubbing to get them off. I have heard that steel wool works but im kinda worried that that would ruin the glass. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about getting it off, and also, what would the viv look like if i couldnt get the stains off, bcs my other vivs havent had this problem.

I spray really stubborn hard water with straight vinegar and then use a scotch-brite (green scrubby) pad. Then rinse rinse rinse.

[AlexanderSalamander]

Ill definitely try that, what are your thoughts on the steel wool? Im thinking that I wont risk it.

I have never used it, scotch brite can be pretty rough stuff too but I've never had it scratch my tanks. My 35g hex was horrible when I got it, it took a lot of elbow grease and some raw hands (wear gloves!) but I got it cleaned.

I have some scotch brite pads, are you talking about the yellowish kind with the soft side and the scratchy side?
