rinse... repeat... If there are any barnacle type thingys on the side I would scrape those off.I got a 180g with stand, a 55 and a cascade 100 canister prev saltwater for $250 .. I just rinsed it all out really good. The 55 g was the sump and kinda stinky, so I used a really watered down bleach mixutre to clean it. I am only using the 55 as of yet, but all fish are happy.

I just taks a razer to the sides (not near the seals) to clean off any 'issues' then give the tank a good rinse. Wet run, Cycle & stock... I do generaly keep my water slightly brackish anyway.
