I am planning a new build and want to re-use my 90 gallon DIY sump I built a few years back but it was the first sump I built and I made a few mistakes I would like to correct. What would be my best course of action on removing the glass baffles that I siliconed on? Heat the silicone to remove it and then clean it off before reapplying?

Assuming a good razor blade would get your there. Its how old fashioned windows which were siliconed into place were removed.

I’ve only had to remove a glass baffle in a diy sump once and I just used a razor blade. I got what I could from around the panel first then got the razor blade between the baffle and tank as best I could until I could pull it free. Just be careful when youre cutting around the seam of the tank.
I also don’t know if heat would make it easier but in my limited experience it wasn’t too hard with just a razor blade.

I am about to retrofit my Redsea sump and they have this kit for the job. I watched a few videos and seem legit.
