There is a product in liquid and powder called "Barkeepers Friend."  They sell
it in the section of the grocery aisle where they sell silver polish and other
specialty cleaners.  I use the powder for tough lime build up, but in some cases
glass can actually become etched by the base of the limestone.  That's why I
wash the top glass about once a month, at least.  It's also really inexpensive
to have a glazier cut new glass pieces for the top of tanks.
