I was in the same spot, and that exact question led me to tear down the whole tank. I just wouldn't be comfortable with trying to "squeeze" the silicone back into the seams...

This is what is stopping me from progressing

you don't. normally when resealing a tank you leave the factory seal between the seams intact (the primary seal), and what you are actually resealing is the excess silicone (called the secondary seal) that lies overtop of the original seal.

pulling apart the glass itself and cutting and resiliconing requires you to have spacers to allow proper space between the seams for the silicone to fill, and requires a frame so that the glass peices would be aligned square to one another etc etc.

its pretty involved..

So basically people told me to remove the bottom panel and don't know how to put the silicone between the panes back..sigh
