How to remove glass baffles

[MitchM]

What would be the best way to remove baffles from a glass sump?
I have a broken side and end pane of 10mm glass on this 60 x 18 x 18 sump.
There are 12 baffles inside some only 1/2 inch apart.
I would like to rebuild this sump with a different baffle setup.
Thanks,
Mitch

Ew, that sucks! I had to remove a baffle to replace with a different height, and couldn't get mine out, so I used a hammer. You probably don't want to do that!

Use a stick to get between the baffles?

Depending on the space between the glass, you might luck out and just use a razor.

razors work or get the blades from like an exacto knife they work too

a LOT of patience!!!! I had to take one out cause of a design flaw.
I used a razor and slowly slid it between the glass and baffle. Took many tries to get it through.

Fishing line works pretty good but a hammer is way quicker.

I sure don't want to use a hammer!

With the fishing line, could it go through 6 baffles at a time? I couldn't get to the bottom of each baffle space with the tight spacing.

We used fine guitar string between two dowels, works like a charm!!
