Default Aquarium Cleaner?

Good afternoon all,

I just bought a tank for salt water (my first one), and I'm wondering what I can use to clean it out with as it has a lot of residue all over the glass?

Thank You

You can use vinegar or a mild dish soap as long as you rinse thorougly.

I really wouldn't recommend dish soap as it will leave phosphate residue behind. Vinegar and water, or a mild bleach/water mix, just rinse well with plenty of fresh water and then use a good chlorine remover.
