I just bought a 75 gal aacrylic tank (+stand filter etc) used (think I got a steal for $60), however it used to have goldfish in it, it's really really really dirty and smelly and crusty... but not scratched and everything working on it (the canister filter is brand new with the box...so I figure if I can't make the tank work, at least I got a new filter for the next tank I buy)
What are some good chemicals I can use to really clean it out good? I mean like will bleach make the acrylic turn cloudy? I don't care if I have to rinse it out for 4 hours straight.... it's just really disgusting right now. The person who own the tank said "Simple Green" because it wasn't toxic to the fish, however, I won't be putting fish in for quite awhile and I have the luxury of rinsing it out a lot and stuff whilst I paint the stand and clean out the filter and stuff.
