New Tank

[Thresher's Reef]

So I finally got my 25 gallon lagoon by Innovative Marine in after the UPS driver dropped the box off the back of his truck (luckily it looks like there is no visual damage to the tank) and am planning to leak test the tank this weekend. What should I use to clean the new tank as this will be my first saltwater tank ever and I want to make sure I don't go about preparing it the wrong way? Thanks in advance!

I've never cleaned my nanos that were shipped to me. I guess you can take a cloth and just wipe the inside glass. When i bought a used tank or redid one of my tanks, i filled the tank with citric acid, put a pump in it for a day and let it clean itself that way.

Simple vinegar spray but that tank is brand new so i wouldn't clean it at all after the leak test.

Alright, thanks! How long do you usually leave the tank to leak test if you don't mind me asking?

Mine was up and running for a week and after it was filled with rock, fish and corals i still had issues. I would say a few hours is fine.
