Removing acrylic baffles in sump

[jft]

Whats the best way to remove acrylic bafflles from sump being redone for larger skimmer? Thanks

A good quality razor blade. Work it between the baffles and the tank glass to cut the silicone. Scrape clean.

Go slow. Be patient. You're working with glass!

Assuming this is a glass tank with plexi baffles.....a sharp razor blade is your best bet. If it's giving you a real hard time, try a cable saw....about 7-8 bucks at HD.

A good, sharp exacto type knife, you'll most likely have to cut the existing silicone from both sides, then a straight razor to remove any leftover silicone.
Just make sure to be careful around the tank seals so you don't cut them.

Going to be tough. You’ll have to saw it out with a very fine saw blade of some sort. Rotozip or similar. Welding it back in will be near impossible I think
