Question
can i use windex to clean the inside of my fish tank?

Answer
Hi Terry,
Under no circumstance do you ever need to use anything other than warm water to clean the inside of your aquarium. If it is very dirty or has mineral deposits on the glass use an aquarium safe algae scrub sponge to clean it.
Also, be very careful not to spray anything on the outside of your aquarium or even in the same room as your aquarium since sprays and other fumes will get into your water or filter and can cause fish to become sick.
Hope this has helped,
Karen
