Thanks for saving my tank haha
I removed the rim off my NC 28G about a year ago and it's still doing great! There is a risk that you might crack the glass while doing it, and it's a PITA to remove the leftover silicone , but it can be done. Here are the steps: Cutting a piece off the rim with a dremmer towards the rear, heating the rim with a hair drier to release the silicone and then wedging a putty knife between the glass and the rim slowly(I used a kitchen knife), then lift the rim slowly. I forgot to do the hair drier part, so I used pure muscle! I broke a good sweat!. I did manage to scratch the glass here and there because I should have used a putty knife instead. The outcome was well worth it though. Check out my thread for the rimless look.
