Help Withg Foggy Tabks

[Peezy]

How do you guys Keep your tanks clean? I cant seem to get this foggy coating off

I have tryed rubbing alcohol but it does nothing and just keeps getting worse..
Is there a way to clean it so it looks new again?

Foggy coating sounds like your tank got frosted by the liquid. Happens with liquid with cinnamon or malic acid (sour) and various other flavors I can't remember.

The frosting is caused by the surface of the polycarbonate being "eaten" away.

I thought that foggy tanks meant that they are made out of polypropylene?

Peezy, if your tank was originally clear and now is frosted, it's made of polycarbonate and, as fray said, is being "eaten" away by your juice. Not only that but it is also probably leaching large amounts of bisphenol A (BPA) into your juice. BPA is a hormone disruptor that mimics estrogen in the body. I strongly suggest tossing that tank and only using glass tanks if you want to continue using the juices that "frosted" your plastic tank.
