I'm just about finished with my 39 gallon hex show tank and it's going to be beautiful. I've played with the idea of using RainX (teflon coating glass cleaner) on the inside of the glass to keep waterspots and mist from sticking to the glass but don't know if it would hurt the frogs. Of course I wouldn't do it if it would have the chance of poisioning the frogs but it's supposed to stay on the glass and not wash off which is why it works so well. It's made for windshields and such so water just runs right off instead of beading on the windows and won't water spot when it dries (thus elimanating the to clean the glass of those darn nasty water spots). This of course would be applied before the tank was set up and rinsed several times to get off any "extra" stuff.
Has anyone ever thought of this or tried it or would this be a really bad idea? There is going to be a false bottom in this tank but the bottom four inchs of the tank is coated with black silicon and the "pond" water wouldn't come in contact with the treated glass. There is going to be a waterfall in the tank but it runs down in the middle of the tank and not next to the glass either. The only way water would hit it would be from me hand misting the tank and IF the tincs were to climb the glass. Any thoughts? I'll post a picture when this is done because it's taken over a month to build the centerpiece alone.
