a damp cloth with clean water, then a dry microfiber towel. works really well. I don't use any solutions at all.

I clean both glass and acrylic the same way. I've never used any solutions just clean clear water and then with a microfiber towel. Works really well.
 
I also use water and a paper towel to clean off the bulk of the salt and let it dry. Use water and a paper towel again to get off the fine film of salt residue left over.
 
mag cleaner for the inside. I think you have to wipe everyday to prevent coraline from getting a hold of the glass, if you use bright lights.
I use windex for the outside glass. I spray the cloth/paper towel and not the glass, so I don't accidentally spray chemcal on the water.
 
My last car had tint film installed on it, so I have this can of ammonia free glass cleaner, spray on a paper towel, wipe the glass, flip the towel and buff dry. Crystal clear streak free shine every time.

For inside glass I use a large mag-float cleaner.

Sounds like an infomercial there at the end!:top:
 
I got the Ecoxotic Ecocham towel when I bought my lights, and now use that to clean all the glass in the house. It's a super-adsorbent, rubbery material that picks up everything from toothpaste to slat particles and leaves a no-streak finish, and then you just rinse it in warm water and ready to do it all over again!

I never would have bought this regularly, but if one of my freebies tears, I'll probably buy another one, lol.
 
I wipe down the outside with a wet paper towel and when the foggy shows up wipe again with a dry paper towel. Done!

I mag float the inside glass, but lately have been getting an excess amount of the green glass algae that rubs off very easy, but comes back quick. Need to get that figured out. I heard its normal in a healthy tank, but I seems like its worse lately.
 
I also get that inside algae build up quick always been that way however when I scrapes the.outside of the glass with my blade I was amazed the crap it pulled off I almost wanted to take pictures just caused it was purdy my wife actually said it was a great idea and told me to hit the windows next lol
 
I use a product called iKlear. It's great because it doesn't have any alcohol or ammonia so I feel safer using it on my acrylic tank. It's totally worth the extra cost!
 
it was salt because I'm in my tank moving corals around to happy locations and the tank is deep when I pull my arm out I get water on outside that just wouldn't come off got that taken ,are of
