Hello,
My front piece of my 72G Bowfront tank is looking weird. I tried taking pictures but they didn't show anything so I will explain it the best I can.
It looks like there is translucent white spots all over the glass. They are connected and cover about 60% of the glass. You have to look at it kinda hard to see them. It is noticeable though once you see them. It is not algae of any kind. I tried scrapping it off, using vinegar, and scrubbing. It is only on the inside part of the glass.
Is this a sign of glass being stressed? I should mention that my tank was empty for about 3 months and was in a un-air conditioned storage unit. However, it didn't get really hot, nothing over 95 or so degrees.
Could it just be a chemical reaction of some sort that stained the glass? I did use a dishwasing sponge one time on my glass. Also, I don't think it is getting worse but I am not sure. I recently got betterlights and I think I can just see it better now.
Thanks,
Mike
