Questions about water

Our temporary whites tree frog setup is a 10 gallon tank with a similar size screen type cage over that. Pretty much doubling the size for him to climb around. I have a fountain that goes from the top of the tank part to the bottom, and from the front to the back (I'll put up a pic as soon as some one shows me how). Question: What can I use to get the hard water stains off the glass? I tried just water and paper towel but not much success. I use the gallon jugs of spring water from Walmart. We live on a farm and I don't trust the well water for anything other than bathing and flushing.

Re: Questions about water

I had the same set up, ended up completely overhauling it. I was able to keep the humidity good on the bottom, but it wouldnt stay on top, the tank was like thailand in monsoon season on the bottom, and a desert on top. i was going to plexi it but I got a good deal on a 29 at a petstore nearby.

Re: Questions about water

Hey fred, have you figured out how you want to set up your 75 gallon? I can give you some great tips. I have a 90 gallon for my whites. Lots of live plants and fun stuff for them.
