Vinegar and salt, and by the looks of things your going to need to buy in bulk! Take a rag covered in vinegar and put salt on the glass and it just rubs away. The vinegar "eats" the calcium build up and the salt acts as a abrasive but wont scratch the glass and the courser the better like kosher salt.
 
could you use something like CLR and then use something else to sanitise it after? never tried it on a fish tank but why wouldn't it work? it works great o the Calcium but would need to be cleaned off before adding fish.
 
Nice pick-up. Gotta love free stuff.

Interesting take on it... I'll see how the straight vinigar goes... I'll piss off my wife since we just bought a 2 Lt jug of Vinegar last week and I'll use that :ROFL:

Not sure of that since I know that CLR Contains some pretty serious acids... Could be worth looking into if all else fails.
