So I just purchased a brand new oceanic tech 120 tank :). And I was wondering what's the best way to clean inside the tank because it's dirty?

Thanks jon

Check with your LFS. They will have a variety of choices for you to choose from for cleaning the inside of the glass so you can purchase what will work best for your needs.
I use a combination of aquarium/glass safe metal scraper and 'mag-float', both sold in aquarium shops as well as what I'll refer to as an aquarium safe version of what looks like a green version of steel wool that is sold at Target and grocery stores in the sponge section that cleans very well but doesn't harm the glass.

sounds like you mean before setting up? if so a good rinsing with just water will likely be sufficient.
