removal of glass inserts

I recently received a 90 gallon custom tank. (was built a salt water
tank.) but I want to use it as a fresh water.. Problem is their are
several inserts of glass (mostly siliconed on) I need a way to remove
them ( was going to try using a razor type blade to cut the silicone,
but several of the pieces are very long.. and not a lot of space to
get between both pieces of glass. So any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

thanks

Silicon eater? This is goop you put on the Silicon which dissolves it -
