Honestly - hot water and a cloth. Anything aquatic that can cause a problem has long since died, so just rinse off the dust and go for it. If you have calcium stains you may want to use something stronger, like vinegar or lemon, along with a razor blade, but otherwise it won't take much.

I have used a very dilute vinegar solution and a lint less cloth. Just wipe the tank down to remove the dust and dirt that may have accumulated.

Either use vinegar or unscented bleach. With vinegar, all you have to do is scrub the tank with vinegar, and wash it out with water. Bleach is more complicated because it is harmful to fish. Scrub the tank with bleach, and then add enough dechlorinator to treat the whole tank. Bleach (NaClO) is harmful to fish because of the chlorine (Cl) in it. By neutralizing the chlorine (Cl) with dechlorinator, you are left with harmless sodium oxide (NaO). Email me if you have any questions.

Warm heavily salted water. There is no way to go wrong with salt.

Just hot water. Scrub it well though, anything else will kill any fish you put in it.
