Regardless. It needs a really good cleaning so what would be the best way to go about it? It's like a white line kind of film across the glass.
The other tank is a ten gal without a lid that looks brand new. it came with a filter so the question is, used filters good idea, or better off to buy a new one?
Thanks in advance everyone and I'm sorry to bother you again.

I agree on the soap I have done much reading and everything I have read about cleaning says NO SOAP of any kind. They sell a cleaning sponge at pet stores I think its a almond sponge I use it in all my tanks. 2 of which were used by other people and kept out side for long periods. They now work great. I would say if you use any thing else use a 1:19 solution of bleach and water. be sure you dont use anything that has come in contact with soap in the cleaning process.

DONT MIX THE BLEACH WITH THE AMMONIA!!!! I know this is common sense for most but I have to warn of the dangers. The mix is VERY dangerous to humans and fish alike. DO NOT MIX THEM. If you feel you need to use both make sure one is rinsed completely from the tank.
