My tank has a mineral build-up on the entire inside and i was wondering how i would be able to get it off with out taking the fish out of the tank. i thought about soft cloth rag but if there are better suggestions im all ears.
thank you in advance.

i know that using a pumice stone or small chunk of brick can easily remove calcium buildup on porcelain (toilets, for example) because the brick or pumice is harder than the buildup but softer than the porcelain, but i'm not sure if it would scratch the glass. maybe try it out on glass that is not a part of your tank. no scratches means you could use it. just make sure the pumice stone is new and/or the brick is very clean, no chemicals. are you sure it won't just dissolve?

A razor blade will work.

A scraper. You can find it in the marine section of a good LFS.
