Don't know if it's the same thing, but I bought a used tank a while back with a couple of hazy spots that looked like mineral deposits. Looked almost etched into the glass, but they came off using vinegar and an unused Scotch Brite type of dish sponge (non-scratching scrubbing material on one side). Took a little time and patience. Also, it kept producing a sort of slurry as the deposit gradually dissolved, it worked better to keep this rinsed or wiped off with a paper towel.
