How do I keep my acrylic clean?

[redwilly]

What do I have to do as far as not scratching the glass to clean the outside? Any tips on the inside as well?? I don't have any algae yet...so i want to keep ahead of the game.

to clean the outside of my tank i use vinagar water with a washrag. on the inside i use a piece of that cotton fiber stuff that you get for some types of filters. it seems pretty gentle, i haven't noticed any scratches from it.

You can buy a magnet for cleaning the tank..your lfs should carry it or you can buy it from this web site. I have one in my tank and use it all the time...works great and does not scratch the tank...good luck

just make sure you do have a grain of sand or pebble between your cleaner and tank.
