Screwed up silicone job. Need DIY help

[ReefOcean]

So after 2 hours I got it apart. 3 violin strings (didnt last long before breaking) an exacto knife, 3 razor blades and an algae scraper. The funny thing is, the most efficient tool was the aglae scraper (kent brand I believe). Some of the seams just had no room for even the violin strings to get betweem but the thin metal on the kent scraper just sliced right through it.

Anybody else trying this, I suggest you run a razor blade along the seams and go as deep as you can and then finish off with a scraper.

Now it is a matter of getting the silicone off the glass and this is turning out to be an even bigger pain than taking the tank apart.
