Any tips on removing the old stuff? I'm using a scraper and it's not coming off real well.

you sure are ambitious

A free tank with just a few hours work is worth it lol. I already had the silicone and gun besides, I'm quarantined and have nothing better to do!

what brand are you using

 

[Fishmanic]

I think you need to use a razor blade but be careful not to cut into the seam where the glass exactly meets

 

[Fishmanic]

afterwards i believe you need to use some rubbing alcohol to clean the glass of residue

 

[JuiceBox52]

what brand are you using

Silicone? GE silicone

[JuiceBox52]

[JuiceBox52]

Okay I'm not in any hurry

 

[JuiceBox52]

I got all of the old silicone off. Tomorrow I'll wash it really well. I'll let it dry and seal it the next day then 2 days of drying

I ordered another silicone 1 that didnt say mold free, it will be here on Wednesday

sounds good..I think you should use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol to get off any residue but check with @Colin_T
