Dave+Amy Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm needing to remove some dividers which are siliconed in - just wanting to know the best/easiest way to remove them, also what tool I'll need and where to get it. Would I need to take my fish out before I do it? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I don't imagine you'd need to take fish out but it'd be cleaner and easier. Im guessing they're glass dividers siliconed in? If so, use a sharp razor blade to cut off the silicone and gently pull the glass out. Tidy up after if needed. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellmax Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi, once I had to remove a broken front from a 5ft tank. As stated earlier cut out the excess silicone with a sharp blade and then soke the joints with Ados Solvent. This will soften the silicon and you then can remove the glass and clean up all the joints using the solvent and Bob's Your Uncle. In your situation you will need to drain your tank and dry it out before you begin. Regards Wellmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
