This is my 20 gallon fish tank. As you will see, I bought it used and it was really dirty, it came with a Python hose gravel and some decorations that I cleaned and kept and it also came with the small air stone that I'm using in the sump of my current set up. I spent a lot of time cleaning this tank but I think it was worth it. Please look at the before and after. This one is also going to the storage (for now ).

Clean!

Excellent job getting that thing squeaky clean, what are you gonna stock it with? Some shell dwellers?

looks very clean, what did you use to get it that clean? that looks new.

I'd like to know too ! That is one good cleaning.

Hehe, thanks! I used water, of course, hose it really well outside, razor blades of different sizes and a product called CLR Calcium Lime & Rust Remover that you can find in the cleaning section of any store. I don't use that product in big quantities though. What I usually do is get a cloth and a bucket with water and clean the worst parts first, along with new razor blades. Then, I use that product with another cloth and finally hose it really good. I repeat the steps if necessary. I love doing that, getting tanks that look really bad and cleaned them so that they look like new. It's kinda like restoring a tank or something. I did that with the 54 gallon, too, which is on another topic, that one had dirt and everything because they guy from who I bought it from kept it outside. I wish I could stock it with something, but my GF freaks out every time I tell her about adding another tank. Once the 120 gal is stocked I'm sure she will get excited and I will have a second tank in the house! lol
