Tank Glass

[Unnar Karl]

I just set up a new tank for FBT and the glass on tank is always so cloudy, what methods do you use to clean the glass properly?
It's a brand new tank, i have tried to wipe it with a moist paper towel and the following it with a dry one.

is it cloudy from water build up or is it a film that is forming on the glass?

[Unnar Karl]

Im pretty sure its a film on the glass, i just set up the tank 2 days ago

papertowels with distilled water usually works, you may just have to use some elbow grease. Introducing chemicals is usually not recommended.

The papertowels do their job but it always comes back, is it maybe a problem with the ventilation? My tank lid is plastic 40x40cm with 18 5mm holes.

Sorry it took so long to reply.
Here's the tank with the mist on the glass, extremely annoying, can't see my frogs clearly : (

That's normal. we all have it. The condensation is a natural by product of humidity. Ventilation may help, but since it is a covered aquarium, the only real thing you can do avoid it, would be to add in a small computer fan to circulate the air.

Thanks, i was thinking about adding a dozen more ventilation holes, that could help right?

Yes, adding ventilation will reduce humidity .
