Removing Aquarium Siliocne- Help?

[Bristlenose1804]

Hi guys
I have a glass tank that I divided to put betas in.
I secured the divides in place using aquarium silicone. There’s my problem!
I want to remove the silicone and just use it as one tank. Iv tried just peeling it off but that’s not working and was going to just scrap it off but I don’t want to damage the tank
Any suggestions on how I could remove this?
I was thinking of something that would dissolve it but don’t know where to start
Any ideas guys would be a great help
Thanks

I'd just use a very sharp stanley blade / razor blade I think.

Yup. A new razor blade should remove all of the gunk without damage to the glass.

i have a very sharp stanley knife should this work? will it scratch the glass?
thanks

Not as long as you keep it completely flat against the glass.

Use a NEW blade and you won't have any problems; one that has been used will not do as you wish.

When I had to replace the bracing on my tank i first used wire to get the large amounts of silicone off then just used a kitchen, worked fine for me.
