A soft cotten washcloth and elbow grease.

Thanks for the help. What about the outside? dried water marks?

I'm lazy and hate to clean. I got a long handled plastic algae scraper from That Fish Place -- it's made by Kent and called the Pro Scraper.

i have used it and if you arent extremely gentle with it, it WILL scratch your acrylic. best is using cotton filter floss with your hand and gently cleaning it off. for the outside just used water and soft towels.
