I just finished re-assembling my 120 gallon tank and was wondering if someone had some useful tips on what cleaner could be used to clean the glass from silicone smudges on the glass

razor blade and rubbing.
Ace Hardware has a product that removes silicone, but it should stay completely away(1/2 inch or more) from the silicone that needs to stay. Let me know if you want the name of the stuff. I'll have to go into the other room to look at it. Embarrassed

I actually tried razor blades and some rubbing alcohol that I had laying around with some crumpled newspaper and actually it shined the glass right up amazingly. I do appreciate your input though :)
