Posted	juwel 350
01-11-2007 09:22 by bigpeter	hi,just got myself a juwel 350,[secondhand]it came covered in algie and after i washed it off i found that there was a reaction of some kind on the glass and it looks all misty and i just can,t seem to remove it,can anyone give me some advise on how to clean it off the glass.
01-11-2007 09:28 by drewie	is it made of glass or acrylic and what did you use to clean it ?
01-11-2007 11:04 by bigpeter	hi,drewie as far as i know it is made of glass and i just used plain water and a soft cloth it cleaned up with a little elbowgrease,when i run my fingers on the inside of the tank its feels smooth i have tried white vineger and such stuff but it is,nt working.
01-11-2007 11:31 by Alan	Fill it with water and see how it looks then. What fish were in the tank before you got it fresh water or salt.
01-11-2007 11:46 by drewie	alan's right fill it with water turn the light on and see how it looks it could be that the previous owner cleaned it with a scourer and scratched the glass if this is the case you'll either have to put up with it or bin it
01-11-2007 13:20 by bigpeter	hi,there guys when i put a wet cloth over it ,it does get a bit clearer but as soon as it dries it goe,s back the same it would be a shame if it can,t be sorted out cos its a great tank.
01-11-2007 13:49 by JOHANSWAN	you do have that problem some times but once you filled it with water it should be ok or you can use acetone to wipe the glass with for if it is some substance on the glass then acetone will reove if for sure and it evoparate quickly so you can just fill and rince the tank after the acetone
01-11-2007 16:42 by bigpeter	hi, thanks for trying just used acetone the glass went fairly clear but after a few minutes it just went misty again thanks anyway johanswan.
02-11-2007 09:36 by Alan	Have you checked the tank by filling it yet?
02-11-2007 10:31 by bigpeter	hello,alan i,m gonna do it today i,ll let you know what happens later,thanks
02-11-2007 11:04 by Alan	I'm pretty sure when you fill it the feosting will dissapear as you say when its wet it looks clear but I suspect a metal scouring pad may have been used in an attempt to clean it but even so I am surprised that it could scratch the glass but some steels are harder than glass but not many. Very odd.

11-11-2007 19:38 by Nick G	How's the tank now with water in Bigpeter?
