Acetone to remove silicone

Assuming you are removing all of the silicone, yes. Acetone won't leave any residue on glass (assuming you mean pure acetone, I can't speak for something like acetone based nail polish remover)

I bought acetone from the hardware store. I am trying to dismantle the tank completely. But these corner seams seem impossible

I'd normally say a heat gun, but you may shock and Crack the glass.
have you considered letting the acetone sit for a long time?
Glass is pretty tough, maybe a stronger solvent (that wont stain the glass) may be in order.
I've never had this issue, I dunno, all the tanks I broke down were already falling apart

how about scoring the edges with a box cutter or something to get the acetone to work in. i didn't know acetone dissolves cured silicone.
I have All silicone possible cut off and have wedged the knife and have gone through countless blades there is no room for the acetone to work. I'm surprised the panels are even together the silicone layer between is so thin
