Windex all the way for the win. If you don't have a canopy spray the paper towel so you don't get any mist of Windex in the tank.

So Windex and paper towel are not going to leave scratches on low iron/ star-fire glass. Can it be any paper towel.

I would use microfiber but it is a pain to keep them clean and would rather dispose of the clean cloth every use so paper towel would be best.

I wipe the excess salt with a clean damp or wet cloth then follow with another cloth that has a little bit of 99% rubbing alcohol
