It may not all be calcium buildup - and vinegar will work better than bleach to dissolve the calcium deposits if it is.
If the tank's been used for high-pH species (cichlids, saltwater), or the tapwater has a high pH where you live, the higher pH can cause the glass to become etched. The only way to get rid of the cloudiness is to have the surface of the glass remelted (flame polished) which is risky - the tank can crack. If vinegar won't remove it, chances are, it's permanent. Some of the cloudy appearance will go away when the tank's filled, but not entirely.
