how hard is it to take a broken section of glass out and replace it its a 20 gal and one of the small sides needs replaced do i need to just start cutting the silicone off all the edges and does it come off the plastic part around the top?

i find in smaller tanks its cheap and easier to just get a new one. the plastic part comes off prob is glued down. cut all the silicon off and try to separate the panels.

If your like me (a cheap b****rd who ends up spending more on the project just to say "look what I did") your going to try it anyway...you can use braided fishing line like a saw to slice the panels apart...BTW Spider wire works great....go online and ask for a sample if you don't have any
