I picked up an aquarium that was salt water with the entire back wall encrusted in coralline algae. Can I soak it in a vinegar water solution without damaging the seal? And if so, what ratio should I use?

Thanks for your help.
 
I've done this often, I wouldn't leave it standing with the vinegar in it. Actively spray scrub and rinse. Straight vinegar works pretty fast.
