Hi Guys

I was a fish keeper (addict) many years ago. Kept p-bass, rays and other odd balls. Been out of the hobby many years. My young daughters wanted a fish tank (so you can imagine how little convincing i needed) 🙈

Picked up a bow front tank with a lovely stand. Only issue is the bow front side has some really deep scracthes where the previous owner attacked it with a razor blade. 😭

My plan is to have the bowed (curved) side as the back so the flat glass is the front as it unscratched. There is an ugly internal plastic box siliconed into the back corner (which will now be the front of the tank so it needs to go.

Any suggestions/advice on the best way to remove it please without damaging the glass?

The money we saved on the aquarium being free, we have ordered an FX6 so the filtration will be external.

Any advice much appreciated. This will be the kids first aquarium so want to make it as nice as possible (while being on a limited budget.

Thanks

P
