            The salt deposits should just come off with water, cant beat vinegar for calcium, and as Johnny said a razor blade, (carefully) for the coraline. IMHO

              the salt/calcium is not bad just on the top so i guess it will not be hard. compare to the tank John gave me last year that did take some elbow grease to clean. the guy that sold it to me had it nice but he join the army and when he came back from training his fish were al dead adn he didnt wanted to restart again. i got the tank only and like maybe 10lbs of dry liverock for $40
