You will probably need to first determine if your tank is glass or acrylic as acrylic will scratch very easily. (glass is very heavy).

Of course the safest way is no chemicals. If one of the soft scrubbers, as talked about below, don't work for you, you can try using a single-edged razor blade, but be careful not to get the blade too close to the sealant at the edges of the glass or you could damage it.
