Not an important issue...
How long do you maintain your tank? cleaning the glass walls of it internally / externally. My tank has small white "patches" collected at the wall. is it some sort of problem? I often use a tank scrubber to clean the inner walls of the tank. |

While draining the water, I gently wipe the inner glass surfaces with a piece of filter wool (an excess piece after cutting a large one to a shape I wanted). It's a piece of cake to rid the scums if you do it weekly. I don't use a household cleaning pad since the filter wool is readily available and I don't have to rinse it to remove left-over chemicals (or whatever) on a brand new kitchen green wool. I don't use "mag-float" becoz the one I had wasn't strong to stay firmly on the glass surface. Beside, it's good to stick my hand in the water to feel the water.... With experience... you can guestimate how bad the water is, curse and swear when it bites you.  |
