What is the best and fastest way to get hard water off of a tank? I looked to see if there was another thread on this but did not see one so if there is one you can point me in that direction too lol.

If your using the tanks for slightly hard water cichlids I wouldn't worry too much about little bits being left on the glass, it will dissolve.
