Well that's a stupid placement.. how do I remove sticker?

[DracoKat]

There's a "made by sticker", 2x1 inches in my 75 gal tak, between the rim and glass, in the back of the tank. I can see it.. and knowing it's there, it sticks out like a sore thumb against the black rim.

How can I get this sticker out from between the rim and glass without breaking the rim off? I can take a photo if I am not making sense of the placement.

There's no room for me to stick a blade under to scrape it out.

Sounds like you might just have to accept it's permanent position.

Odd there is a sticker there?
Obviously not meant for removal but ya agree would be tiring to see

Picture would help a lot. Hard to see how a razor wouldn't work.

it was very difficult to take the photo with the reflection.

it's between the glass and the rim, on the inside of the rim. I can't pull back the rim enough to stick a razor or anything inside without risk of snapping the rim or getting the razor stuck. I can see it from where I am sitting on the couch.

If you are very careful and you can pry the plastic every so slightly with a plastic putty knife, and the use a razor black to take it off being again very careful. Also tank your time

You can try this with extreme caution: use a cheap razor knife like this one extended 5-6" (far enough to reach top of sticker). Run it flat against the glass; the razor will be bending pretty good, but if at the correct angle not enough to snap. This is how I remove the silicone to replace old plastic trim, so you can surely reach the sticker. Wear eye protection and gloves.

Thanks guys! I may have a putty knife somewhere to try

before I had my sump, I needed to cut away some of the black trim to get my ATO were I need it. Trim is not glued down and it will bend out ever so slightly so that you can get a scraper under the trim

jsker has ya covered! Good advise here.

Looks like CL likes to make things difficult for people. Looks like lots good advice on how to get it off though!

I have one too. On two tanks. It actually is a good indicator if my water level is off...
