Tank Glass Cleaning

I bought a used 120 gallon tank from a reefer on here. How do you clean the glass on the tanks insides. There are some water line marks and the inside of the glass is a little dirty?

A razor blade should work. Just be careful around the seams though.

a little vinegar and a sponge does wonders, or as cloak said, a carefully used razor blade in conjunction with vinegar does a great job.

(assuming the tank is glass and not acrylic)
