Need a bit of advice on substrate for new tank

For cleaning with vinegar..how exactly do you make the vinegar solution? What parts vinegar to water I mean? And you use this whenever you clean out the tanks?

Well, the tank I just bought has a white film on a lot of the glass...I don't know if it's calcium, we have really hard water here in New Mexico, or if it's lime deposits...in any event, I mix a 5% distilled vinegar 50:50 water solution...I have also tried 10% bleach, Oxyclean and baking soda. From what I've read up on, CLR doesn't really do the job either.
