I have some calcium deposits on a ten-gallon tank and I was wondering if there is any way I could get them off. Thanks.
How do you get calcium deposits off your tank?

Well, I have tons of it on my 10g too, so don't feel bad. you can
get a sponge and warm water and scrub, or, you can do like i did and get a product called
Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Safe & Easy Aquarium Cleaner. It works great. I strongly reccomend you getting it. So easy to use, and doesn't harm your fish.

I have used Safe and Easy, but I have also used a brand called Seri Clean. They both worked really well.
Yea Joe, I think that's what he means, I put salt in every once in awhile, and I get white crusty stuff on the lid.
With hard water you don't need salt - the carbonates and bicarbonates will do just fine without help. Ever been to Carlsbad or Mammoth Cave? 
This is what I mean by calcium deposits
When I had the tank set up I had it half full so I could breed pearl gouramies in it and when some of the water evaporated it left a white line half way down the tank.

The Safe and Easy stuff works great, you spray the white crap, and in 3 minutes, wipe it off with a sponge and it's gone.
