Removing filter sock tray and baffle reefer sump

[Ling_Thing]

I really want to plumb in a clarisea 5000 in my reefer 450 and was wondering how hard and how to remove the filter sock trays and two glass walls that are in the sump. I assume just go at with a fresh box cutter knife?

Wouldn't think it would be too difficult as long as they're just siliconed in. I don't know if I would try it with water in the sump though. Just in case.

Get a pack of single edged razor blades. You might not be able to get the correct angles with the box cutter. Definitely drain the sump to be safe too.
