Used fish tank- how to clean?

I just received a used 55 gal tank. It was previously used as a salt-water tank, and has white deposits on the sides. What can I use to clean the tank to make it look new ? I know soap/detergent should NOT be used, but I'm not sure about anything else ( ammonia, vinegar, etc ). Any advise would be much appreciated.

Send a message via ICQ to wuelfman
white vinegar would work good
it will clean the the deposits right off (you might have to soak it a bit )

Water and a clean rag. for harder to remove spots use a single edge razor blade. just dont rub hard in the corners.
