My tank has white water stains on the outside. I have tried scrubbing with a pad. And even tried windex(made sure not to get it in the tank). Does anyone have any idea how I can remove this?

a wet smear-proof towel.
EDIT: or they make acrylic cleaners. I've heard that Windex corrodes acrylic.

I picked up some vinegar. Gonna apply it and use a paper towl with alot of pressure, maby that will get it.
Windex didn't corrod the acrylic, but it didn't remove the spots either.
LIme-Away will get it, but I don't know the effect on acrylic.

Use some MicroFibre Towels and some elbow grease.
