I used a long flexible knife, should be just fine.

If the knife doesn't work there are commercially available 'silicone eaters' but I suggest you empty the tank and thoroughly clean it afterwards if you use this method

Get a scraper that takes the old fashioned razor blades (we got one with our stove to clean the glass top). Should get rid of most of it, and a knife will do just as good a job).
 

 
Sorry, may be too late to advise, sounds like you've managed.
