If it has a lot of coralline algae built up on the glass then you may want to soak it first with bleach water. After changing the water add a gallon of vinegar or better yet muriatic acid to the full tank and let it sit a couple days. You should be able to wipe off what's left with a rag.

Are all of these cleaning methods OK for acrylic tanks?
All of the suggestions seem to be ok for glass, but you should be carefull what you use on acrylic. I bought a used 240 (acrylic) and there are some areas where you can tell someone used some cleaning solution that wasn't intended for acrylic and there are blemishes/crazing in those spots. The suggestions may be ok, but I'm just saying look into it before you get to work.
