Is there anything you can use to wash an aquarium. This one has been sitting awhile and not in great shape i have it soaking right now....Dish soap or anything.

Vinegar works wonders, a solution of 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar or stronger if you like...

White vinegar will also clean your showerheads and faucets, and you can run a pump in a bucket of it overnight to clean it.
Best, a little (very little) vinegar getting into your tank water is no problem.

Just a tip..
Never soak anything electrical (pumps,etc..) in pure vinegar.. It will actually eat away at the electrical seals which can lead to shocks,etc...
So always dilute with water

Definitely vinegar
