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

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. o_O On two tanks. It actually is a good indicator if my water level is off...
