Water
and a soft sponge (I prefer to use microfiber sponges on them), and be
careful not to get any sand or particles under the sponge as it will
scratch the tank.

I also use newspaper, but a flat edge, taking care not to scratch. a
newspaper is great for a finishing wipe rather than initial cleaning.
And for tough spots, us a credit card or ID card to carefully scrape off
hard algae.
Novus acrylic cleaner is great for removing scratches and some cleaning,
just complete buff out any solution (with a rag or even using
newspaper) and rinse before adding water to the tank.

Edit:
On thin acrylic tanks avoid using really hot water as it can cause some
bowing. I've had this issue with taller acrylic tanks, like a 75 gallon
Casco. We filled with hot water and it looked pregnant! So, warm
water OK, hot water not ok.
