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?

Vinegar works great for cleaning water deposits and stains on glass aquariums

I would use vinegar, wouldn't use any strong chemical cleaners in a tank. Just bought a Tunze because the Mag Float scratched my glass.:mad:

+1. I bought the med sized Tunze scrapper for my 70G and I love it. No sand to scratch up your tank. Worth the investment!

just bought a tunze as well.
Cost a little more than the others but worth it. I used it for the first time Sunday when I did my WC. Was able to get the algae right down to the sand bed which I couldn't do before. Does a great job just with one pass, no more "wax on wax off" like with the Mag Float.
