Transferring Juwel Background?

[Jonno]

I'm set to get a new tank next week and i'd like to remove my juwel background and put it into the new tank. Is it easy to remove?

 

[holidayinn]

is it an internal background or external?

If Internal might mean the background siliconed on, which would be a bit trickier to remove, would probably have to empty the tank

yes its internal and i'm emptying the tank anyway. is there a secret way to remove them?

My background is just lodged into place but neeeded to be cut very carefully in order to do so.

If it's siliconed on, would need to use a blade from stanley knife to remove. And would have to remove silicone completely if you plan to re-silicone background on new tank.

If you can get hold of a long cake icing spatula then slowly and carefully work it through the silicone a bit at a time you'll be able to get it off.

Slowly does it!
