Default Cleaning starphire glass
My new tank has Starphire front panel. What is the best thing to use for cleaning the glass? Are the standard magfloats ok?

standard magfloats are never okay...lol

Honestly, go pony up for a good quality glass cleaner since you've already spent the money on Starfire.

I use this and havent had a scratch yet....

used Magfloats for about 5 years on mine and zero scratches due to them. On the outside I just grab a couple of face-clothes from the bathroom, dampen one, wipe, then dry with the other.

rodi water cleans the outside perfect! then you dont get any contaminating cleaners near your tank which could be bad news

I use Mag Floats on my starphire with no problem. Just be careful when cleaning near the bottom not to pick up some sand or other grit which could scratch.
