looks like a nice tank, how big is it

Using water and a scrubby will clean most things, but if there is limescale marks on the tank (usually from where the tank isnt kept full) can be removed with vinegar.

Where does it need cleaning? What sort of marks/stains does it have?

Mostly alge That I could see. The two emporor filters were covered with hard water stains(he was on a wellwater). I am a clean freak so I will start all over and use those filters for parts. I know that hard water stains are not real easy to get out but will scrub the best I can. Clean first then cycle (Fishless) have access to 23% (aquia)amoina tech grade looking now for the proper way and amounts to do this. FluvalFx5 on its way ...back up unknown at this point. Any susgestions will be helpful on any thing I should know.

nice tank. if you can use some of the current gravel and/or filter cartridges, it will help you cycle your tank quicker.

vinegar will remove hard water stains, or any descaler (try not to use a really strong one) and make sure you rinse really really well afterwards
