Stupid question maybe but if ya don't know for sure then best to ask right? I'm working on getting the silicone cut out from the old seals right now, and working on the sides which I can see which way to cut so that I don't actually cut into the silicone that is "between" the glass panes, because I know you don't want to cut into that and damage that area's seal. But when I get to scraping the silicone that is on the very bottom of the tank I just want to make sure I am scraping that in the right direction so as to not damage the silicone between the bottom where the other panels meet the bottom.
So question is... all the glass sits ON the bottom panel correct? So I want to scrap from the side & front/back glass down vertical and not scarping from the bottom panel across to the sides/front/back?
Did the way I said that make sense or no?
Maybe this will help ...
As in the above pic, all panels sit directly on top of the bottom in all glass tanks I believe correct?
what most tanks have and what you have is what is commonly known as a "flat bottom tank". The other type of bottom and what Ron was referring to is known as a "floating bottom"
You will most often find floating bottoms on your larger tanks
