Question: Dirty Glass

[FOG]

I am currently in the middle of cycling my Axies tank. I'm aware that I shouldn't clean any of the ornaments, and just do water changes. However, the inside of the glass is getting to be quite dirty, theres lines across it where my Axie has rubbed up against it. Can I at least clean the inside of the glass?

I have cleaned a number of tanks and cleaned the glass as well. I prefer to clean the most viewable parts and leave the beneficial bacteria on areas that do not offend the eye (for example: cleaning the front pane of glass and not the other 3 sides). You are right not to clean the ornaments. Good luck!
