Hi friends. A friend of mine recently gave me a 29 gal. tank that it
2-3 years old and seems to be in good shape, although there is some of
(what appears to be) mineral buildup in areas of the glass that
scrubbing doesn't seem to remove. Does anybody have a recommendation
as to the best thing to use to remove it? It probably isn't all that
noticeable under water, but it bugs me and I want to start with an
absolutely clean tank.

Lime-Away or CLR are my favorites. I had little luck with vinegar and the
smell is disgusting and lingering. A small nail brush or old toothbrush
works well to remove the softened deposits on small or tight areas. A
veggie brush or tank cleaner pad on the glass.
