Removing Water Spots from Empty Fish Tank

Does anyone know how to remove water spots from the inside of a fish tank? The fish died and I got really disgusted with the tank so I let the tank just dry up. Now it looks ugly!

I use salt to clean my tank. It is a mild abrasive and easily rinced out. Just sprinkle non idonized salt on a damp sponge and scrub away. I recently picked up a tank from another freecycler that was green and it came out sparkling with just a little elbow grease.

I am not sure that using a cleanser such as this is a good idea in an aquarium where you will put fish. I would try vinegar, as it is likely just a lime deposit that you have. Whatever you use, rinse really really well before you use the tank again.

Comet Bathroom spray works the best that I've tried. Use the rough side of a sponge or a used dryer sheet(not a new one) and it will get it right off there.
