DO NOT use Windex. Windex = Ammonia.

If you ever need to use a glass cleaner dilute some vinegar in water and use that.

You can try moving your light up a little further. I think mines is about 16" above water line. No salt creep at all! You can also try getting a thin piece of acrylic and covering it up, that way if water does somehow make it up that far. at least the acrylic screen will block it off.

Mines 18" above my 12" frag tank.I still get a little splash when playing with things. Ill do the ro water and paper towel.

raise the reflectors so they won't get splashed..



for my Nova fixture that sits 4"-5" from the water surface, I just use a towel with warm water
