cleaning out a used tank
I recently bought a used 90 gallon reef ready tank, and Was wondering what the best method of cleaning it would be?

+1, buy a big jug of vinegar. You can usually find them cheap at walmart in the aisle where they sell condiments and salad dressing in the large bulk/resteraunt size packaging.

Just wanted to add, no soap. Soap can leave residue.
Congrats on the new tank!
