It's definitely the saltwater, I am thinking it could be just salt from the water that has evaporated off.

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

It's actually the calcium in the saltwater that is leaving those horrible white stain. They are insoluble in water that's why cleaning with vinegar works as it dissolves these stain just like limescale.

You get the same stains in cichlid tanks.

Yes, I think it's evaporated salt and other residue. Will be good to wash with warm water, and then clean with newspaper or any glass cleaner spray - just be careful, most commercial glass cleaners use ammonia, so, better to spray on the paper, and then clean, rather than spray on the glass directly (in case you get some into your water!)

Yeah, totally agree to it. The traditional way of cleaning glass panels learned from my days working in a fastfood restaurant is still definitely the best way to get rid of water stains and make your tank shines.

Use newspaper and tap water to wipe the exterior glass would be more then enough.
