Well was the tank built as a standard aquarium and then just used with reptiles or is it a specifically built terrarium?
If it was a standard aquarium then clean it with vinegar and you are ready to go.
If it it was built as a terrarium then the glass is thinner, and it is not safe to fill all the way with water.

well it was built as an aquarium and its really thick glass so just vinegar or is there a certain mix?

you should be fine then.
You can use vinegar and water or a mild bleach and water solution. I never worry about how much honestly, just rinse it really well and let it air dry. If I was to guess though I would say probaby a 1/2up of vinegar or 1/4cup bleach to a gallon of water.
