You could use vinegar for cleaning glasses. I think it’s perfect because it’s not toxic and it works very well. Try it! Bye

& I’d try a catfish for the algae, I’ve got one in my tank and it works wonders. There are several different kinds , but I would recommend a Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) or an Oto (Otocinclus sp.) Good luck. —–Original Message—– From: THUNDA [mailto:thunda@…] Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 6:04 PM To: diamondbackterrapins@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [diamondbackterrapins] tank care You could use vinegar for cleaning glasses.
