I am using declorinated salt water to spray the tank when needed. I usually don't have to spray the sides. My humidity level is great so I hardly have to spray the tank. I mostly spray the leaves on the plants if I need to spray something then I won't have the salt water spots on the glass. I have learned since I posted this.emmac350 wrote:You get the spots on your tank because the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind to form those spots. Fresh water doesn't usually leave anything behind as you should be using dechlorinated water for your crabbies.

Re: Removing water spots...
You could try baking soda on the dechlorinated wet paper towel too. If one is taking their hermies out of the tank for a reason, (cleaning or such) one can also use lemon juice, but rinse it well and let it air awhile before returning the hermies.
