Okay, with the UGF question out of the way, I think I've only got one question left...

Would it be wise to rinse / clean my new 60G acrylic before dumping anything in there?
I was poking around on Big Al's and found some specialty tank cleaning chemicals for fish tanks - non-toxic?
Or am I just wasting my money and time and just jump right into cycling?
 
I'd say to give it a good rinse out a couple of times, but I would stear clear of dumping chemicals in it right away. Maybe rinse it out with a bit of ammonia if anything sense you will be using that to cycle your tank anyways.

Now that I think about it though, I have all glass tanks, so I'm not sure if the high concentration of ammonia will cloud the acrylic.
