taking my tank apart...

[longer]

hey all, i guess this fits in this section... what i have is a 180 gallon tank sitting on my deck that i havent been able to setup yet and now i am moving back to canada (im in Mexico), ive measured my truck and it will fit inside if i take it apart. so my question is how do i break the silicone seals safely, the window guy said that paint thinner would work but im afraid that might contaminate the glass for future use. will it wash off or is there a different way to do this?? thanks for all your replies

I've never done this before but i've herd that if you use thin wire or fishing line and seperate the silicone(sp) from the glass you can "dissassabble a tank" but as for the black plastic rim i have no clue
