Guitar strings work wonders. Wrap each end around a piece of wood and slice through the silicone.

I'm trying to look like a pro at pulling apart tanks when I go to this guys house....or at the least not come off as an idiot lol
 
Just use the guitar string to slice all the pieces apart and use the blade to clean the glass free of silicone

Well that was a waste of time, energy and money. lol

We couldn't get a blade between any of the panels the and when we did find one small spot to get the guitar string started, it worked for a few inches and then would bind. The top eurobrace got destroyed. It cracked apart where the guy had drilled holes for the returns. When we tried to remove the side panels, they were too close together for the guitar string to get through and we ended up chipping one panel and cracking another. That's where we gave up and he said he would just smash it in pieces to get it out of his house.

I'm assuming we had so much trouble because he didn't use any spacers with the 3/4" glass and the silicone bead was hair thin in a lot of places.
