I just bought an aquarium off craigslist and it appears to have been used as a salt water aquarium. How do I clean it to make sure it's safe for my freshwater fish?

Vinegar, water and elbow grease.

Just hose it out a couple of times. The amount of salt left will be negligible.

glass? razor blades help remove any calcium build up or red coraline algae.
