Can anyone tell me the best way to get calcium deposits off of aquarium glass, I picked up a 125 gal that has been neglected for years.
 
Thanks I thought that may work, I have a couple of spare limes, and some pickles!
 
It's gonna take weeks to clean this thing, I'll keep posting updates

O man you have your work cut out for you. Good luck with that but the bigger the job the better the reward.
 
One friend, two razorblades, enough vinegar to pickle a cow, and lots of time. I really have to give credit to my besty Talia I couldn't have done it without her.

It's amazing what a little vinegar and a pack of razor blades will do...

Okay so I've had plenty of time to start scaping my tank, after about six days I finally got purple on my nitrites lol, this is what I've got so far. Any suggestions?
