1. Scratch the glass with a new shaving blade.
2. Use RO water.
3. Clean glass surface with a cloth regularly so that nothing can deposit on surface.

actually tough, you have to clean with sponge, magnetic scrubber or old ATM cards.

Or else for permanent solution RO is the way.

Or you may also keep the water with proper aeration in a separate stock tank then put it into main tank, not sure whether issue will be resolved but you can try this also.
