Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use soap or anything other then water.
I'm not even sure if you would want to put fish in it now.

But i would clean it with water for hours ( not boiling because that could wreck the sealant )
Then i would set it up and let it run for about a week without fish!. ( make sure you have a filter )
p.s if it were a saltwater tank you could be screwed

i rinsed it for like 30min when washing and made sure it didnt dry on it... then i rinsed it again with hot water

Ever?

As long as you rinse it multiple times, you should be fine.

White Vinegar & razor blades usually should do the trick.

rinse it and let it run a few days and it should be fine...i would sacrifice some feeders first to be sure though

ok, you've been scolded properly..

now, rinse it well with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and clean water. wipe it down with a clean dry cloth. then leave it in the sun to dry for a few days, even a week. then set it up, cycle it and use it.

and in the future, only use white vinegar/water and magic erasers (with no soap) to clean your tanks.
