ozmo Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Acetone will do the trick. Just make sure to clean the tank heavily with vinegar afterwards and then obviously flush with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asunderf Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 will it make all gluey like tho?? what about selleys silicone sealant remover ???? asunderf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmo Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Kind of guey depending on the silicone quality. You also use a razor blade and just kind edge it off with blade. I've never used the Selleys product but it's probably the same or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
