White Vinegar will remove limescale. Spread the vinegar on with a cloth, and leave for a time. It usually takes quite a lot of rubbing afterwards with more vinegar and the cloth. The tank would need thoroughly washing out afterwards. Hope this helps.

Do as suggested already but use salt as it'll give you an abrasive effect which will help scrub up better

this might help too
