Default How to clean the inside of an empty acrylic tank

What can I use on the inside of an acrylic tank to clean and to remove scratches? I want to make sure whatever I use wont affect the water conditions once I get it set up...
Thank you
Stephanie

Thanks for the info - I am hoping he can hold off shipping for a week or two - still need water in the tank!! I also found a place less than 100 miles from me where I can pick up LR an LS Aquarium Arts - Marine Reef Aquarium Supplies, Prime Cured Live Rock, Fish, Corals, and Invertebrates its $5 per pound so if her can hold off it will be cheaper for me to ship it from the East Coast but it may take 6 days to get here - and we've had some hot weather - so I'm not sure which would be better..

$1000 shipped to your doorstep, or 2200 and you have to drive for 3 hours to get it???

I still have to figure in the shipping.. but I think the shipped will work out to about $3 a pound and driving is still $5 so it looks like a no brainer... How well will it survive a 5-6 day transit???

They will have to be recured. It took 11 days for my levels to come back down. He shipped on monday it arrived on Thursday. That dieoff is good for your tank. Helps make it nice and heathly. I keep telling you I payed 2.60 shipped
