The short answer is yes, you can use a saltwater aquarium for freshwater. When cleaning the inside and outside of any aquarium only use plain water; do not use soap or any other cleaning agents. If the tank is made of glass, use a razor blade scraper to remove algae and mineral build up. Use care when scraping around the seams. Acrylic aquariums require special scrapers to keep from scratching its surface. These scrapers are available at most pet and aquarium stores.

If the aquarium has not been filled with water for several months it is best to test for leaks. To keep your home dry, fill the tank with water outside on a flat, level surface which can support the weight. Leave water in the aquarium for about an hour. If the aquarium holds water it is ready to be set up.
