Hi everyone, new to the forum. I'm getting back into the hobby after a few years off.

I bought a 60 gal cube that needs a reseal of the silicone but I wasn't sure if I should reseal the top frame or not. If so, what's the best way to remove it?

Thanks, everyone.

It looks like the top frame isn't one continuous piece. That will actually help you in taking it off- I would take it off while the tank is still together and use plenty (dozens) of fresh razor blades. I've found the combination of razor blades cutting while slowly inserting spacers as you move along has been successful, although it still takes a lot of time and elbow grease!
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
